"Ramseyer to Basel"

Further comments on the question of a Kumasi mission – mainly based on a letter he has received from Prince Ansah, informing him that several approaches have been made recently from Kumasi to the Wesleyans to settle in Kumasi once more. He does not see any need for the Basel Mission to abstain from trying- to have a station in Kumasi too. Asante is a place large enough for both missions to work in separate spheres, but although Asante is weaker than before each village is still under the control of a representative of the Asantehene, and it is unthinkable that they could carry on mission work in Asante without first establishing themselves in the capital.
