"Perregaux to Basel"

A testimonial for Sam. Boateng in connection with the Abetifi missionaries' pressure for him to be ordained. In giving some idea of Boateng's success in Asante Akim Perregaux writes that the Asante Akim people have been able to gain an easy living from the rubber trade, and thereby have little liking for hard work, and therefore his having helped to bring about such a large of Christian house-building is very noteworthy. The Donko case caused him a lot of trouble too – the full story of the insults etc. which Boateng suffered can only be learned from him by repeated questions (Perregaux feels this is a very praiseworthy trait of Boateng), and after Donko's fall Boateng had to use every available means to prevent the young men taking after Donko.
