About this Item

- A slip of cream paper, approximately 1-3/8 inches high by 2-3/4 inches wide, has been signed with his date of birth within a decorative pink frame "Robert Moffat 1795". The slip has been mounted on a slightly larger piece of pink paper framed in black. There is some light offsetting to the paper from the glue used in the mounting. Very good. Robert Moffat (1795-1883) was a Scottish Congregationalist missionary to Africa. In 1816 he was sent to South Africa where his wife joined him. In 1820 they moved to Griquatown and their daughter Mary, who later married David Livingstone, was born. The family later settled at Kuruman among the Batswana people. There they worked passionately for the missionary cause, enduring many hardships. Moffat was the first translator of the Bible into Setswana. Seller Inventory # 96297
