"Werner to Basel"

The letter includes a list of expanditures on building to date, and an estimate of future costs. NB: The word “strike” seems to have been in use among the workers, it appears in quotes. There is a melange of letters from Abetifi in Heidenbote 1876, p 85f not quoted in extenso but combined with an editor into an article. It is mainly concerned with the fact that there had been another strike and that in mid-August there was a war-alarm. Obo, Obomen and Twenedurase seem to have been moving towards cooperation with the Asantahene. A salt-trader from Kwahu taking a consignment into Kumasi was the link with Asante. The situation calmed down again fairly quickly it seems.
