"Süss to Basel"

The Gyadam people will not send their children to school unless Süss gives them clothes. But the Sunday services are well attended. He offers the first appreciation of the political situation in Gyadam – they are troubled from without by the threat of Asante and the Abuakwa people. He reckons the worst problem comes from within the town however, strife between "brothers" bringing one party to ruin is frequent, even to the extent where the ruined brother has to sell himself to pay off his debts, and the priests are the worst robbers. There are discussions about setting out from Gyadam to find some other place to settle. The report is published in the Missionsmagazin 1855, vol. 4, p. 29-30
