"Clerk to Basel"

Reports that war has been going on for months between the Asantes and Nkoranza. Nkoranza has asked Krakye Dente for help, and now Krakye Dente has twice asked Buem for assistance, though Buem is refusing, Clerk appears to connect this with the preaching of Christianity in Buem. The priest of Dente has gone with his following to Nkoranza; whether he will go as far as the fighting when he finds out that no Buems are following Clerk’s doubts. The troubles in Salaga continue. The king driven out of the area has still not been able to get back to his capital in Pami. There is a subscript by Ramseyer dd 1 Dec 89 with the information that the English Government told Krakye Dente to return to his town, and this he has done.
