"Ramseyer to Basel"

En passant in a discussion of the need for a higher grant for travelling in Kwahu Ramseyer gives as examples of the problems which frequently come up and need settlement: 1. That the chief in Pepease has forbidden the Christians from scooping up water from the stream on a certain day because of the fetish. Ramseyer has written about this to the Governor, and has also suggested that the Christians make themselves a seperate way to the water leaving Pepease town on one side. 1. Aduamoa. The chief there is still in open revolt against the Kwahuhene following the incident of the pretender Yaw Donko. He recently put two catechumens in irons, officially because of a family debt which did not have anything to do with them. When Catechist Okyere from Nkwatia went to see them he was struck and driven away, and the drums called the people to drive the Christians who were with him away. Ramseyer has written to the Governor on this subject too.
