"Dilger to Basel"

A summary report of his journey to Kumawu - for the full report see No. 94 below. He was interested to see if it was possible to travel in Asante without going to Kumasi first. It was, and he visited Konongo, Odumase, and Kumawu. In the villages of the latter he received a very friendly welcome, there is a universal demand for teachers, and since the town lies so high it would be an excellent place to build a house for a health retreat for missionaries in Kumasi, and as a starting point for missionary journeys into the Northern Asante states.
