This series contains mostly correspondence, but also includes minutes, conference papers, and financial statements. The folder titles are those that were on the original file folders. Most correspondence is filed under a particular subject, such as personnel, literature for Latin mission work, and Iglesia Luterana Mexicana, the Mexican Lutheran church. There are also some correspondence files for individuals who served on the commission. Alvin Koehler's correspondence is mostly from his time as Commission on Mexican Missions director. John Scherzer's correspondence is from his time as secretary and chairman; Edward Sagebiel's is from his time as chairman. These correspondence files are not large enough to constitute their own series within correspondence.
Set I contains more than correspondence; it also has telegrams, monthly general fund reports, and financial reports. Some of the folders contain photographs (1923-1924). Some of the correspondence is in German (1930-1933), more in Spanish, but most of it is in English.
Topics covered include advising potential mission workers on training, missionaries' salaries, reminders of board meetings, women's missionary society support of missions, organizing new missions, and general daily operations of the missions in Texas.
The Believer is the weird and chilling true story of Dr. John Mack. This eminent Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer risked his career to investigate the phenomenon of human encounters with aliens and to give credibility to the stupefying tales shared by people who were utterly convinced they had happened. Nothing in Mack's four decades of psychiatry had prepared him for the otherworldly accounts of a cross section of humanity including young children who reported being taken against their wills by alien beings. Over the course of his career his interest in alien abduction grew from curiosity to wonder, ultimately developing into a limitless, unwavering passion. Based on exclusive access to Mack's archives, journals, and psychiatric notes and interviews with his family and closest associates, The Believer reveals the life and work of a man who explored the deepest of scientific conundrums and further leads us to the hidden dimensions and alternate realities that captivated Mack until the end of his life.
