"Müller's Comment to the Hall and Clerk Reports on their Journey"

The reports from Hall and Clark have the No. 129-130 and 138. He remarks over Clerk's report that a younger brother's remarks have to be taken carefully, .especially in reference to the Volta people who face strangers with distrust. Putting 5 workers in Buem as Clerk asks is in any case not possible, since there is a shortage of staff generally. The interest in schools in Buem follows from the frequency with which Buem youths visit the coast (Accra and Fante), see school carried on, and want to learn the wisdom of the Europeans. He adjudges, in any case, that the people of the area are not ready for the gospel, citing their general acceptance of the past poison ordeal - but equally that they may be eager for help to help them out of their miserable condition.
