"Werner's Annual Report for 1877"

In part is printed as appendix to the 1878 Annual report of the Mission (p. 87ff). The additional material is almost entirely personal, concerning his marriage late in 1877 (at a time just after the death of one missionary wife, and when another was critically ill), though he also makes the point that very few people from Abetifi town have visited the services on the station, and their greatest contact with the people of the town has been through street preaching. The first part of the report is taken up with an account of the building epic – a labour force of 100 at times, and the weather undoing much of the work once it was done – ½ year lost in this way.
