ISO639-3:dcr Negerhollands true Unspecified Unspecified These letters have been written by various slaves from St. Thomas (and two from St. Croix: 1760 Nathanael and 1762 Mari Magdalene) who had converted themselves to Christianity and participated in the Moravian mission. Some of them had learnt to write from the missionaries, also writing letters for other slaves who dictated their message to them. Sometimes the slaves dictated their letters to the missionaries. These letters were discovered in the 1980s by Peter Stein, and have been published in Van Rossem & Van der Voort (1996). The letters have been included here as they were printed in Van Rossem & Van der Voort, 1996). The letters range from 1738 to 1762.
