"Ramseyer's Subscript to the Stations Conference (see No 64)"

Okanta in a written reply to the charges claimed to have bought only 12/- India rubber from three Christian women, and claimed that Date had done as much. He denied collecting rubber, and as for forbidding the community to tell stories to white men etc. He claimed he had asked them to stout everything first to him. Ramseyer obviously believes some if not many of the charges to be exaggerated. It was irregular that he had not been formally charged in the presence of Deacon Date. On the other hand things having got to the stage they had he had probably better be dismissed. he had been very rude to Marquart.
