"Perregaux to Basel"

The letter is printed as follows: Heidenbote 1896, pp43-44 and Der Sklavenfreund p 118. The letter is comprehensively printed, with the exception of three place names, which are omitted. The estimation of 1000 for the population of Nkoranza town includes Kisima and Sasaman. And the village visited on 28th February was Bamsua. There is also an unprinted postscript which susggests that the area might be suitable for a slave-home - half the population he thinks are slaves, and in Ateobu slaves are commonly bought and sold - price for a man £8, a woman £8-9, and a child £5-6. However, such a project would have to have the moral support of the English regime. The letter dated 28 February 1896 in Le Missionaire repeats the material in the German letter dated 19th March, with no significant additions.
