 | | The Center for Adventist Research on the campus of Andrews University recently received a generous donation of important letters, documents, photographs, and artifacts from the life of John Nevins Andrews (JNA), the first Seventh-day Adventist missionary, as well as the missionary work of the Spicer/Andrews family in Tibet. |
 | | The collection was donated to the Center by Jeannie Andrews, great-granddaughter of JNA, in October 2005. |
 | | There are 31 original JNA letters in the collection, including a letter written to his mother upon setting foot on the shores of England, dated September 26, 1874, making it the first letter written from a foreign land from the first official Adventist missionary. |
