Apologises for having to write in German. As she has recently accompanied Albrecht on his missionary circuit, will write about that. Visited Mary Vale with evangelist Peter (Australian Aboriginal man), and driver Eli (Australian Aboriginal man). They take things to sell such as dress materials, and clothes, medicines, etc. The liturgy is in Aranda and use flannelgraph pictures. Evangelist Paulus (Australian Aboriginal man) works at Mary Vale. Asks for help to further the evangelical work. Next visited Deep Well station where there is no church structure. All the men were away working. 2 weeks ago they visited Henbury where they were under the gum trees in the creek and held a service on verandah of a house, but many of the children had the flu and couldn't come. After the service they sold goods. Gamaliel (Australian Aboriginal man) is the evangelist helped by Daniel Forrester (Australian Aboriginal man). Then on to Palmer Valley station where there is as yet no evangelist. Next Erldunda where there is a tiny church and a room to sleep in. Hold service and then sell goods - you will wonder about selling on Sunday, but people on cattle stations have few opportunities to buy goods. They went on to Ebenezer but there were no Aboriginal people there, so went on to Angas Downs but most people had left for Ernabella where a large corroboree was being held. And then finally back to Alice Springs. A third circuit took them north taking another week. This circuit has only been going a year. Aileron was the first stop where evangelist Peter (Australian Aboriginal man) lives. In Alice Springs he earned 10-12 pounds but here he just earns his keep. Their son Paul (Australian Aboriginal man) accompanied them, (he is missionary at Haasts Bluff) to learn the field and see how his father works. Distributed some dried fruit and bought dingo skins from the locals. Went on to Coniston. The evangelist Timothy (Australian Aboriginal man), comes from here and has evangelised but is currently stationed at Erldunda. Then to Pine Hill Station briefly and on to TiTree Station where Mr and Mrs Heffernan live. The wife comes from a good Lutheran family. Did not sell goods here as there is a store. Next to Murray Downs where the Browns insisted they sleep in the house and eat with them. Went on to Elkedra station where we had a cup of tea. There is a school for Aboriginal children and then to the Aborignal camp. Next Ammaroo and then Utopia where the Aboriginal camp is about 3/4 mile away and people still live a traditional life. There is no evangelist there. At each stop Albrect took services, showed religious pictures and sold goods. It is arranged that Albrecht is one Sunday in Alice Springs and alternate Sundays away, so takes six weeks to visit all stations. Aboriginal people service at Jay Creek and The Bungalow in Alice Springs. Mrs Latz teaches religious instruction there when Albrecht is away.
