"Clerk to the Gold Coast Präses (Chairman)"

Reporting a journey to Krakye - the wag Krakye chief's reply to the question whether or not they wanted a school was that they did not want a school - they would send another boy to school if that was wanted, but that was all. A German official, Rosenhagen, then intervened for several hours, at the end of which the Krakye decision was modified to being an acceptance of the school anywhere the missionaries liked, but not in Krakye town. Clerk recommends that Kete be not chosen, in view of the shifting population, largely made up of strangers. Tareeso is not suitable, due to the lack of water there in the dry season. He recommends Abudwuro. There is a subscript from Müller accepting the recommendation in outline and suggesting that Catchist Awere from Anum, in his 5th year of service, be posted into the area and ordained.
