Item Details
Title:
"Mader und Widmann to Basel"
Description
This the covering letter forwarding the following reports to Basel. Mader summarises the information given by the missionaries. He comments the Akim case shows the Government should intervene there 'our stations are not free cities'. In a subscript Widmann remarks that about 200 slaves have run away in Akwapim. Many of the freed slaves on the coast must have died in the small-pox epidemic. He sees a particular problem in the situation of the elderly and frail slaves who can no longer look after themselves. Akwapim is over-run with Crepes who are afraid to return to their own lands until they are again part of the British Protectorate.
