Portée et contenu
Photostat copy of a diary compiled by Fr. Timothy Connery OFM Cap. covering his experiences as a missionary in Northern Rhodesia. Periodic references are made to the extreme distances travelled between the missions and villages (‘returned by canoe down river’), and to accounts of masses said in the bush. Locations are frequently given in longitude and latitude measurements. It is noted that Fr. Timothy left Africa for Ireland on 24 June 1938 (p. 57).
