"Süss to Basel"

The letter is summarised in Missionsmagazin 1855, vol II pp.37-38). Additional material from the text: The close relations between Süss and collector Vether were genuine on both sides. David Asante was also impressed with him. The man had been a teacher in Badagry; and Sierra Leone as a printer. He was a member of the Niger Expedition, and got the idea of founding a mission-trading township from that. But this had never come about. Now he was on Cape Coast and had got the appointment as Collector (of the Poll Tax) for the two Akim kingdoms. Vether actually spoke on the Predigtübergänge on which he accompanied Süss.
