"Haas to Bellon"

Concerning the three graduates of the Kibi Middle School transferred to Akropong. Wilhelm Apeawia - Father the dead king Ata, mother Yaa Bokua. Born 1856-1857, baptised in September 1866, in the School since the beginning of 1863. From Banso. Haas reports that he is not very gifted, though he is anxious that he should be accepted at Akropong and kept there, because if anything were to happen to him for which the missionaries could be blamed by the Okyenhene, then the latter might in revenge take away much more gifted by whom he has 'sent' to the school. His behaviour is good, though somewhat domineering towards the other boys. Charles Kena, son of Asarebreman and Boatemma, born 1857-1858, baptised in December 1868, entered the school in 1868, and comes from Kukurantumi. Better gifted that Apeawia when Ampao decided to return to Kukurantumi and burn the town and himself in it, went away with him and did not return till the April. Andreas Adu, son of Apeagyei (from Asene in West Akim) and Amma Sumkyewu, born 1857-1858, baptised in December 1866, entered the school in January 1867, and from Kukurantumi. Had been a servant of the Kromers. Had also returned to Kukurantumi in January 1869. Creates difficulties with childishness and reactions when something does not please him.
