"Staton Conference Protocoll"

The protocoll discusses Gibson’s application to be transferred from Kukurantumi - at that stage no further developments had occurred in the land case, though many people felt it might lead to open warfare. A subscript dated 2 March 1869 to the Stations Conference Minutes is written by Schrenk as Mission Cashier. He remarks that he is now having to collect English money for the Akim missionaries, because the Akims are wanting English money for purchases in Cape Coast where the Spanish silver dollar is worth only 4/2d. He suggests that they should set up a mission shop in Kukurantumi so that instead of having to take the trouble to send silver, they could send merchandise. Another subscript from Mader (dated 26 February 1869) advises inter al that the teacher makes the school (an argument for not concluding that external factors make it necessary to move Gibson).
