"Buck to Dieterle"

Asante had recently been on the coast over the question of events in Kibi. Buck had been invited before the Governor to answer the question to whom the Governor should approach to express himself concerning the charges made against Asante and press that he should be moved to some other district. Buck pointed him to the Generalpraeses and also said that the matter would have to be referred to Basel. He asks Dieterle to ensure that any defence of Asante's conduct before the Governor should be made through him (Buck), and adds that since the Okyenhene came out of the affair without punishment such a defence would only help with the Governor - it would not better the position in Kibi.
