Details about the proper clothes to be worn in the tropics. Their wine has arrived safely but begins to get sour. Observes wild cotton. Description of landscape. “We must live here as in Europe in town". It would be better to have an amount of money here than a lot of goods. A barrel with 10-15 hundredweights (?) of cowries would be advisable, also handkerchiefs for small presents. Labourers are paid in cowries. If you have no slaves, building is difficult. There is a lack of wood and limestone. Lime is fabricated from shells which are collected at great cost from the seashore. The kitchen equipment is all rusting. They have a small kitchen. They did not yet use the surgical instruments. It causes great difficulties to keep them from rusting. Of their drugs, presented to them by a dear brother in Zeist, they made some use. Headaches are common with newly arrived people, also eczemas all over the body. Woolen socks help to keep the sweating feet warm and to soften the headache. He thanks the Lord that a physician has recently arrived. He has not yet had a night of sound sleep. A woolen blanket is too hot, except in the morning, and a linen blanket not warm enough. They take a bath every morning, either indoors or in the open sea. Manual labour is not suitable for the European- quickly sweat makes you all wet, so that you have to change. He has made a beginning with learning the language. It is a difficult language and probably not so poor in expressions as you might think at first. There are only 20-30 000 souls in the Accra tribe. But the Moravians have written down languages of much smaller groups in Greenland. The Fante language is spread wide, and he intends to direct his attention to that language as well soon. In the school. He daily reads something of the New Testament to the children and gives short explanations and adhortations connected with the reading. He speaks in Danish and the interpreter, who himself knows but little Danish, translates it somehow. Furthermore he teaches them melodies of hymns. They knew none when he arrived, but have learned about 10 now since Christmas. “You surely want to hear about our life with God. I can tell you that I could not live without God… Greetings to friends..."

Holzwarth has recovered, but Schmid is sick and Henke also, but less so. He has been spared and finds the climate not so bad. Precautions to be taken: Beware of colds and are careful in your diet. Always wear a hat. An English chaplain at Accra some years ago always walked about bare headed in order to get used to the climate, but thus attracted a severe disease and he died. News about the school: there is only a school for Mulattos. They can only teach them reading since there is no writing material available. “May God use us to start a school for the Africans”. It is necessary to learn the language. But few people know Danish, and these only what they need for daily use. Interpreters are unreliable. Each one of them has developed his own method of learning the language with the two Mulatto teachers with the son of the chief who had come out with them from Denmark, with the landlord. They have all taught them up till now out of friendship without asking for money. How rich or poor the language is, he can’t yet tell. He collects words and simple sentences, which he tries to memorize. He attempted to translate a few Bible sentences into Accra with the help of the landlord, but found it difficult, since there are not the appropriate religious terms available as yet. They hope to find them in due time. Notes about the Fante and Ashanti tribe and language: He hopes that the gospel may be preached to them soon. Henke and Holzwarth being occupied at Christiansborg, he would like to begin work in another town. Ningo would be suitable, the Moravians had worked there. The people, he was told, would gladly receive them. He is glad, that the letters from the committee agree to such a proposal. The school on the plantations which the committee proposed, is for the moment less suitable: the population at Ningo is much greater and they could stay in the Fort. Brother Schmid would like to come with him.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.08.1829 Proper date: 02.08.1829 Description An account of the resource Henke is sick. Details about his disease. Extracts from his diary: Monday 11th May: Palaver in the castle about a man shot by accident during funeral celebrations. Wednesday, 13th May: The palaver could not be settled by the governor who gave the accused to the parties to settle it on their own. The family of the man shot does not want money, but thirsts after the blood of the man who shot him by accident. Thursday 14th May: The palaver settled: Oath, that the matter dead, guilty man must wear chains in the fort for a year. Governor makes a law for future such cases. Instead of 8 servants they have now two Mulatto boys whom they teach in religion and reading and writing. Perhaps they may one day be schoolteachers. They also have a cook and a washerman. From the 9th to the 11th June he was with Mr. Schwanekier on his plantation. To begin a school on a plantation is not suitable, since there are but few Africans on each plantation. The rainy season was late this year, and a fetishwoman from Accra went to Frederic Davunnah in a trance and told him, that they were guilty of this. Happily rain fell soon afterwards. On the 19th June the fetishpriest and three fetishwomen came and thanked God for the rain. He told them that do account of our sins God often had to punish us, but if we prayed to him with the decision to rectify our life, he would be gracious again. They thanked for this lesson and departed after a sort of blessing. If only they knew the language people would listen to the gospel. The fetishpriest from Ussu visited them and got a glass of brandy according to the bad local custom. He poured out libation to jongmo (God) and the sea. He told him rather to give his heart to God and that it was a sin to sacrifice to a fetish who could not speak etc. he should worship God alone. He said that the fetishes had given them the victory over the Ashantis. He proved to him the nothingness of the fetishes. He said, that he had 10 sons whom he wanted to become Christians, but that he was too old himself to learn how to read and to write. He told him, that he only had to learn to believe in Jesus Christ, who had come down from heaven for their sake etc. He said that he wanted to listen to this every day, but we were not sure whether he was not after the brandy and told him to wait till we knew enough of their language. As far as their health permits them, they endeavour to learn the language. But they have no proper teacher. With brother Salbach he alternates with the Danish service and on Sunday afternoon every fortnight from 3-4 p.m. he catechises the mulatto soldiers and the mulatto lads and girls from the town. Frederic Davunnah has been employed by the Governor as teacher on the Danish school, translates, since many of the Mulattos do not know Danish, especially the girls. On the 2. Easterday he baptised 4 children of Mr. Schwanekier. The Europeans and the Governor regularly attend service and seem to have improved somewhat morally. Surgeon Schönning intends to marry in church the Mulattowoman with whom he has been living together, once she knows some Danish and has been confirmed. The governor is a rationalist, but the truth of the gospel seems to make him uneasy in his rationalism. Daily from 3-4 p.m. he teaches the confirmation lessons to 10 girls and 13 boys (mulattos) in the fort. He intends to apply for the post of the preacher to the fort from the king. The job is extremely difficult, and one has to know the Accra language to do it well. But there is a need for it, and the Europeans have required him to apply. The brethren agree. He would like to know a fatherly advise from Basel on the matter. Greetings to various people.

Thanks for a letter received from Kissling telling of the death of Rev. Wulff and giving news. Hopes that Sessing soon will come to Liberia and that he will bring as planned the mission vessel he was told to purchase in America also to Danish Guinea. Glad to hear that Kissling plans a sea journey to the Gold Coast in order to recuperate his health. Sad news of the death of the three other missionaries told in short and moving sentences. Henke longs for the followship of brethren. Henke reports about his work, giving an account of how he spends the day: "I rise at 5 a.m. and meditate over my Danish Bible and the hymnbook of Döring, then I have my coffee or tea. From seven onwards I go to the Mulatto school, consisting of about 100 children which arc clothed by the Danish Government. The mutual instruction is the custom here as everywhere in Denmark. Prom 7-9 the children must memorize Danish nouns, whose significance is explained to them in the Accra language. From 9-10 they either write or have arithmetic School begins again in the afternoon at 2 p.m. I explain the words of the lists ("Tabellen") to them from 2-3, and from 3-4 they read the lists, whilest I give religious instruction to 22 young Mulattos of both sexes which I shall probably baptize on Easter Monday or Pentecost Monday. It is now more than I year that they receive religious instruction daily from me, but unhappily their hearts are not yet as I would like them to be and the worst is that most of them do not understand enough Danish and that therefore I must use the interpreter in teaching. But if it so pleases the Lord, this evil will soon cease, since they learn to read Danish from the two Mulatto teachers, in the same way as a parrot is taught, i.e. without understanding the least of what they read. I rarely return from lessons before 4.30 p.m. into my little room (Henke has hired a room in town). From 4-4.30 and from 10-11 or 11-12 I take a bath, and at 12 I eat lunch. From 4.30-6 p.m. I usually go for a walk. When I am back I have tea and a piece of bread and butter, sometimes together with the Governor, who has many good characteristics, but unfortunately is a strict rationalist. In the evening I write my diary or work on my sermon or read. Often I am so exhausted from the day's work that 1 just do nothing." Henke writes of his appointment as Danish chaplain and his reasons for accepting it - otherwise a rationalist might have got it and hindered further missionaries or even persecuted them. There are also pure negroes in the school. Greetings to the missionaries in Liberia. (The accompanying letter gives an account why Rev.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.05.1830 Proper date: 20.05.1830 Description An account of the resource Since the letter carrying his news to Basel was lost, he writes again the sad news of the death of Holzwarth, Salbach and Schmid. Dr. Trentepohl urged Henke to take logging in the castle again, the Governor Lind providing a room for him. After the death he went with Trentepohl to the plantation half the way being carried, the other half walking painfully. He stayed there for 4 weeks and helped Dr. Trentepohl to catch butterflies, which T. studies scientifically. Henke had not applied for the post of a chaplain as Dr. Trentepohl had suggested, but unexpectedly a letter from the king empowered the governor and council to employ him, if he so desired, as catechist and teacher, annual salary 600 rigsdaler plus 200 rigsdaler as soon as he could prove to have mastered the Accra language. It he accepted the work - an important and difficult one - and now spend 7 hours daily in the school. Details about his teaching. Sad case: Girl pregnant from a sailor, dismissed parents had forced her to it for money they had received from the sailor. Other girl taken away by her father and sold to Portuguese slave traders in Quita. The mulattos he describes in strong terms as a bad lot. The -Europeans are also rotten: most live as polygamists, only three of them not, among them Governor Lind. They all but one regularly attend Church, but each has his own faith and none the true faith. He does not dare to give them the Lord's supper - rather he would give up his appointment. Only with Dr. Trentepohl he could have communion, but he has died since. Henke asks for 4-6 missionaries to be sent out - God will open doors. These brethren should not be emotional types and they should be married. They should be well trained - a missionary never knows enough. Against the climate, Henke lists 7 precautions to be taken. Account of what happened to the goods of the deceased brethren. Part sold in auction, part-furniture kept against the arrival of new missionaries. The new brethren should bring no furniture-a stove heating which had cost much freight was in particular a nuisance - also the order of Holzwarth of a barrel of Port wine, which did cost £ l00, had to be resold with a loss - nobody drinks port here. Answer to question in the only letter from the committee which reached the coast so far (in February): Foodstuffs regularly required from Denmark. (Henke says, he got used to African food). Tin plates are not suitable since the Africans do not clean them properly - China would be better. Mattresses and blankets needed (the cockroaches have damaged many).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 30.01.1831 Proper date: 30.01.1831 Description An account of the resource Wonders whether his letters have not arrived in Basel. Glad to get letters. Cry for letters from the Frankfurt Mission Committee. Joy of having Kissling for a fortnight at Christianborg in November. Kissling gave gloomy account of mission in Liberia. Henke asks committee to send Kissling and Sessing here, only Sessing should be less unfriendly in his behaviour (report of unkindliness came by a boat — due probably to ill health). The Africans are less ready to listen to God's word than Salbach thought. But God's word is the hope. He has been sick and sickly all the time and can persue his work only with difficulty. The last Governor Lind had erected in his days a school for the Negro slaves of the king, but did not intend to teach them to read and write, only to teach Danish to them and "Christian morals" as he expressed it. The commandments and especially the apostolic creed in the catechism of Luther he has changed with blasphemous hand to make them more understandable to an African child. Henke frankly told him, that he desired and demanded that they would remain untouched. In this case, he said, there will be no religious instruction. This is of course better than giving them a paganism in another form. With trembling he rejoices over the arrival of the new governor (Hain, who arrived three days ago).

Feeels sicker than before. Governor Hain died. “It was no loss for the church of Christ, I am sorry to say”. He did no care for religion at all and never visited the school. He was a man composed of pride, ambition greed and sensuality. He made life here which had be pretty heelish before, to be like an antichamber of hell. To be just, it was not he who boycotted peace and created discord, but an assistant called Christensen who organized a party against the governor and probably is guilty of the Governor’s death. Governor Hain had arranged before his death that Christensen should be taken to Copenhagen The removal of this man was the only good deed which Governor Hain did. Henke could not hold a sermon at Hain's tomb. The new Governor Ahrendorf is a careless young man and not much better. Henke hopes the king will send out Governor Lind again. About his work: On the council of the physicians he has given up preaching till his breast is better. Europeans and Mulattos anyhow are more and more desinterested since he excluded all those not married in church from the Lord's supper last eastern. He still gives baptism and confirmation lessons and attend to the school. From 6-7 p.m. he instructs the boys of the top class in grammar and geography. News from Kissling in Liberia: Sessing has gone to Sierra Leone and Riesling to Europe. Henke sad that Kissling did not come to Christiansborg.
