"Mader's Report to the Slave Emancipation Commission"

On the case of Abraham Atitsogbe both the Kibi missionaries and the catechists had given him a good character as having had 'nothing to do' with the slave, so Mader is content that the plan should go forward as Atitsogbe originally designed. There is also information on Jonathan Palmer's slaves. One was a c.40 year old woman from Kurosi 'in Donko’, for whom he had paid 46 dollars in 1856. Another was an Awuna boy, Asem Nyame, about 18 years old, for whom he had paid 45 dollars in August 1859. The last was Nyame ye Adom from Crepe, bought in eraly 1864 for 47 dollars (the transfer had not been effective because the woman, about 50 years old, was ill). These were freed on 1st January, (though it seems that they are expected to go on working either for Palmer for a very small wage, or for one or other of the missionaries).
