"Hermann Halleur from Akropong"

Details about the plan of the house (clearer than in the letter of Riis). There will be a gallery round the house but they have not yet decided how this will look exactly, so he did not draw it on the plan. He hopes soon to be able to send a plan of the mission settlement and also one of the whole town. 21 September: He was interrupted in continuing this letter, since he got an almost incurable disease (double fracture). This must come from too much manual labour. It is difficult to supervise 30 people working on different places. He had e.g. to put a heavy block of wood on the bench for the sawing machine, which 4 people before could or would not lift. All the responsibility was on him, Riis being on the coast and Widmann sick.
