Item Details
Title:
"Petition signed by Adow, Obeng and Sakyi"
Description
Appealing for additional pay to the scale on which they are paid - exactly the same as that in Akwapim. They argue 1. that foodstuffs are much more expensive because the Akims are not conscientious farmers 2, that paying in golddust rather than cowries penalises them. Mader’s subscript to this comments that Sakyi is an Akim. Buhl's subscript adds the point that he has sent a lot of small silver to Akim (with the implication that silver is in use).
