Item Details
Title:
"Ramseyer to Basel"
Description
Informs the Basel Committee that he has been able to buy a piece of land opposite the station on the other side of the Bantama Road - this was important because of the danger of being in close proximity with Fante liquor-bars. They received the property as a gift from the owner, and gave the ex-owner £1=10 in money, and a piece of cloth worth about 15/-. There is another Ramseyer letter about the freed slaves (not dated) printed in Sklavenheim. No I.3. He describes the housemother as doing the washing with native soap.
