"Widmann to Basel"

A short letter, inter al about Akim, but refering to a Station Conference- protocol of 9 March which includes, a discussion which culminated in Mader and Dieterle going to Gyadam in an effort to get Süss to come back to Akropong (v. No. III.13, pp 5-7). In February and March Cruikshiank visited Akropong, Kibi, and Gyadam, over the political crisis in the colony. Süss seems to have tried to avoid meeting him by going on a journey to Kwahu, from which he was brought back by the Gyadam people. Quinine is doing him no good, and he is trying to cure himself with tobacco juice. Cruikshank's comment was 'He seems to be in morbid state of mind’.
