"Eisenschmid's Report on the return of the Akim Christians for their Homes"

There is a long report on this event in Heidenbote 1888, pp 17-20, in which the Eisenschmid letter plays a prominent part. In the unpublished section of the report Eisenschmid says that groups of Christians were waiting on the Kukurantumi-Kibi road at Asafo and Akoko. At the end if his report of his proceedings on 3rd November, Eisenschmid cites one of the arguments with which he had endeavoured to persuade the Christians to leave Kibi as being (following the exact point at which Ampofowa had broken off negotiations) that the English now had to act out of honour, this giving assurance of action. There is a copy of the Proclamation made at Kibi at No 97.
