The remaining images come from the second series in the collection, which depict work in an area of Cameroon overseen by Presbyterian missionaries. Almost certainly all Africans in the photos are from the Bulu people, sometimes called the Boulou. The accompanying captions are Laura's own. Any text provided by the Archives is enclosed within brackets; the image number begins each bracketed comment.
