Consists of original letters and photocopies; an issue of the Bangkok calendar (1864), printed by Dan Beach Bradley; the will (1893) of Sarah Blachly Bradley; writings and addresses (1892-1937, n.d.); and a photograph album showing scenes of Bangkok (c.1889). Most of the letters were written between 1877 and 1892 by Dan F. Bradley to his mother and siblings in Bangkok, Thailand. They describe Bradley's student days from 1877 to 1885 at Oberlin College and Oberlin Theological Seminary and pastorates he later held in Ohio, South Dakota, and Michigan. Writings, sermons, and addresses discuss topics such as fellowship and the role of women in evangelization.

Note: Based on entry taken from William E. Bigglestone's unpublished "[preliminary] Guide to the Oberlin College Archives," which was prepared as individual entry sheets in a three-ring binder during the early 1980s.
