1907 - 1910 Wesleyan Church Trust record book containing loose items relating to the Wesleyan Trust and the Million Shilling fund-raising effort.
It would appear that the fund-raising effort mirrored that of a similar one in London at the same time. According to the letters and other records in the ledger, the intention of the local fund was aimed at a church to be built on the corner of Kerk and von Wielligh Streets in Johannesburg.
The full contents of the ledger have not been digitised.
