"Station's Conference Protocoll"

Application for authorisation to spend £45 on building a catechist' house in Fankyeneko and 36 dollars on the purchase of land. (Full financial details not noted). Their presentation of the application includes the point that they wish to pay the local Christians if they help with the building, since they are all either in debt, or have relatives whom they want to get out of pawn. One has an old father pawned to a rich man Begoro (presumably - 'here') for 36 dollars, another while another is heavily in debt through having to pay the head-tax for his wife. In a subscript Buhl argues that they should pay only 20 thalers for the land, because Missionary Buck has paid 25 dollars for the land in Obomosu, and 16 dollars for the land in Asiakwa.
