      abstract = {The American Presbyterian Church was committed at its  inception to the belief that it is a missionary church and  that every member is a missionary. The establishment in  1837 of the Presbyterian Church's Board of Foreign Missions  signaled the beginning of a worldwide missionary operation  destined to embrace some fifteen countries in four  different continents. The records offered here provide  invaluable information on social conditions in Latin  America and on efforts to spread the gospel during the  nineteenth century. Documenting the church's educational,  evangelical, and medical work, these are records mainly of  incoming correspondence from the mission field and outgoing  correspondence from the Board headquarters.},
