"Eisenschmid's Report for the Third Quarter of 1865"

Includes a comment on Abraham Atitsogbe that he had cleared debt of 50 dollars since Eisenschmid had come to Kibi (4 years), and had also bought for himself the tools he needed to carry on his trade. His house-boy, Wilhelm Dapa, aged 19, has just refused to accept a heathen girl offered him by his father for marriage. Eisenschmid is worried about this, however, on the score of the difficulty involved in finding Christian wives for Akim Christians - his wife has tried to tackle this problem by taking Akim girls as servants but the two so far employed have stayed away after a while.
