Riis, 6 June 1832 The above words of Heinze are the last lines written by him. Account of the sickness of the brethren and the death and burial of Heinze (Page 2 and top of Page 3). How Riis and Jäger recover (Page 3). Wonders, what shall happen to the drugs of Heinze. Of the goods of Henke etc. only the books are left. They were in the store of the castle for a long time, they have taken them into their house in Ussu and gradually put them in order. They have now plenty books but not enough of some other things. The Europeans are kind to them, especially during their illness (Page 3). Apart from living in unregular liaisons with Mulatto and Negro women, the white men here are perhaps not worse than in many European towns — he expected worse. Their harsh treatment of the Africans is partly due to the lying and stealing of the latter. Story of how the Africans plundered a stranded Portuguese ship, whose crew could happily be saved from the hand of the Africans and was brought into the fort. Laziness of the Africans. The town is often noisy especially during funeral ceremonies (Page 4). Happy that their house is at the outskirts. Description of the house and domestic arrangements. No cook — main meal taken at Mr. Lutterodt, a merchant, who also buys for them advantageously what they need (Page 5). They have had the firm intention to go to the plantations soon after Eastern. But their disease and the death of Heinze changed this. They have not yet given up the plan, but wonder, whether it is wise to leave medical care so far away. Mr. Lutterodt has offered them a house in a plantation there. They try it for a period of some weeks. c) P.P. Jäger 20 June 1832: On Pages 7 and 8 Greetings. Wishes to be in the Mission house at Basel, whose happy atmosphere he only now fully realizes in an atmosphere which is spiritually unhealthy and as if it was poisoned. But when it will be God's hour, he will scatter the darknese of Africa by the light of his grace and glory.

Considerations about their work. Frederic Davunnah gets the salary and is trained as a teacher in Copenhagen on the cost of the king. He is ready to take the post. The girls' school is cared for by a widow, the young teacher Madame Veith. They have not yet preached because of ill health. Plan to go to the plantations: Mr. Lutterodt, who has been 27 years in the country, is very kind to offer house etc. The man looking after the house knows Danish, Ga, Twi and other African languages. He is a Mulatto (Page 2). Reasons, why it is advisable for them to learn the Ashanti and not the Accra language. Plan to go for a few weeks with Mr. Lutterodt to his plantation. Not yet decided definitely whether to remain in Christiansborg or to go to the plantation - pity for the orphaned congregation. But assurance that Europeans could hear the word of God and read it and the Africans not, and that they have been sent out as missionaries to the pagans. Hope to get advice from Basel (Page 3). Domestic arrangements: Size and prize of house, servants, food arrangements, firewood and milk supplied from Mr. Lutterodt. Financial affair of the good left by the deceased brethren (Pages 3-4). Weather was unusually wet. Many African houses collapsed, since the walls were wet all through. Their house remained dry - it has a new grass roof.

About the school: the children are industrious and learn well, but their character and life are not satisfactory. They are brought by pagans and among pagans. The remedy would be a boarding institution. Appeal to Christian friends to make an effort to get the money needed for a such. There is nothing more blessed than the snatching of children from perdition. Ningo or plantation for an African school? The people of Ningo say that they want no school.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 28.05.1836 Proper date: 28.05.1836 Description An account of the resource He is still kept back in Ussu and not allowed to return to his home. In Akropong, the Governor threatens to send soldiers to fetch him an imprison him in the castle at Christiansborg if he should set foot on the soil of Akropong. He is a man who wants to rule absolutely over everybody, otherwise a good man. The background to this measure is, that after the Krobo war the Akwapims have flouted the peace and troubled the Krobos again and thus defied the Danish authority. They would have killed even Danish soldiers, if Riis had not interfered. They did not bother Riis. The Governor called down Riis because he thought he would not be sure at Akwapim. Riis applied orally and in written for the permission to return, which was refused to him. The Akwapims feel guilty and would merit a severe punishment from the Danes. They have turned to the English in order to avoid this punishment. The shameless political moves of the English play a big part and frequently flout justice and truth. Should Akwapim become English, the Mission would lose quite a lot of advantages.
