"Lodholz' Report for the First Quarter of 1868"

The new Christian Abraham Boamma had been on a journey to a friend of his with whom he discussed his new religion - the friend said the ‘word’ was 'sweet' and sent the missionaries a gift of yams and a hen, though Lodholz explains that it is difficult for such a man to do anything more, since, he is head of the family, and must hold a family meeting before he can take serious steps towards entering the church. Also one of the schoolboys had been treated with local medicine during a serious attack of fever by a woman who after his recovery seems to have wanted to prevent the boy from returning to the mission compound until the cure had been paid for.
