Puk An Ais Fel, Me AIS An Lamalam Kana Lan Kapsa An Re Ruk: Mortlok Cathechism, prepared by Rev. Robert W. Logan (Honolulu: Press Publishing Company Steam Print, published by the A.B.C.F.M. for the Ruk Mission), 84 pages, 1888

The Francis Price Papers make up a small collection arranged into six series: I. Correspondence; II. Diary and Journal; III. Printed Matter; IV. Photograph Album; V. Scrapbook; and VI. Artifacts. None of these series holds extensive material, and together they present a limited picture of the life and work of Francis Price. The most interesting item resides in Series II, a typescript of letters by his sister-in-law Eva J. Price from June 28 to July 1 of 1900, just before the family was murdered during the Boxer Rebellion. These were published in China Journal, 1889-1900: An American Missionary Family during the Boxer Rebellion (New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1989).

The incomplete photograph album in Series IV holds five photographs, taken in Micronesia during Price’s service there in the 1890s. Among the printed matter in Series III resides a catechism in the Ruk (Chomorro) language published in 1888. Price translated the Bible into Chomorro during his time in Guam and Micronesia.
