"Prince Ansah to Ramseyer"

He is ashamed of the Asantehene's answer - the Asantehene is going to ruin through pride and bad councillors. 'Privately' he tells Ramseyer the trouble is that the Asantehene suspects Kwaku Dua - he wanted to send him into exile with Awua, but was prevented by strong party feeling. The Asantehene is now not much liked - if there were unity among the people he would soon be destooled. The Asantehene has sent to ask him to go to Kumasi, he cannot - he has not the means. He was there in the time the Juaben and Gyaman troubles, and again at the beginning of 1881, but has received no reward. Owusu Koko Kuma has sent a parcel of Asante pipes for Ramseyer through Rottman.
