"Dieterle to Basel"

Sorry he is not yet able to do without an interpreter. Reason: Much work with the school and the college where he teaches 12 periods a week and has the supervision, a difficult task to bring them to a regular and well-ordered life. Hopes to find more time in future to visit the people of Akropong in their houses in the evenings. He helped Mohr to supervise laborers (p 1). Numbers of children in school. School is now attended regularly. Evening school had to be given up. But five young men who are in their service and of whom two were in school before come for classes three times a week. Under his supervision the college students teach them. Troubles with the chief: He want the pagan wife of their Christian Moses. She is a bad adulteress but the palaver was settled (p 2). A journey to Ussu on business. Difficulties with the carriers (p 3). Jonathan Palmer sent to Aburi. He feels the loss, he has become a fine lad. Wolf from Peki passed here twice when going on business to Ussu (p 3). Personal matters: Request for a bride names Sophie Weigle (p 4).
