"Locher's Report for the First Quarter of 1854"

Reports the first visit by a Basel missionary to the Accra farming villages NW of Osu. The first one of any note is 8 hours away and that is probably the most important, Abodo. A visit by a missionary to these villages is apparently rare since the Wesleyans do not come to the farming villages much. The next day he passed 6 Accra farming villages before he reached Osu villages en route for Abokobi (Legon not mentioned by name once more). The house at Abokobi has been severly damaged by white ants in recent months. The farming villages are deserted because of the conflict with the British.
