                <text>Though weak, he had to go to Ussu. Hence he began packing and sending the goods brought by the brethren which stood round in a store, partly damaged by termites, since there was nobody looking after them. He found carriers only till Adjamante, half way, whence they gradually will have to bring the goods to Akropong. Riis justifies himself against the accusation that he had interfered into the political matters of Akwapim. He claims that he had only opposed Adum for moral and Christian reasons and that on occasions he had also protected Adum from his adversaries. That he was not simply an agent of the Danish Government is seen from the fact that he remained ummolested, while the Africans of Akwapim forced the governor who had gone two third of the way to return to the Coast.

                <text>Parts printed: Heidenbote 1846, pp 37-38: News on school at Akropong.  Not printed: It was bitter for him to be put mainly in charge of carpentry while he longed so much to work with children and had been used so often in the school of his father. But God's ways are not their ways (p 1). School, three classes. The children often beg for things, a little piece of paper, an old pen and especially trousers and clothes. He told them that he did not want this begging but would give presents to the best and most industrious in school and on their farms (p 3). Besides the school, which takes 4 hours daily, he works hard at the carpentry teaching the two apprentices and doing all the joining and much of the other work himself. Riis is driving him hard. He wishes he could do more, but he is often so tired. He now understands Halleur although he will not excuse him (p 3f). Long and sad description of differences with Riis over the matter of his treatment of the West Indians. Sebald and Widmann tried to protect Hosford from being beaten by the slave of Riis Aschong. The matter of not enough clothes being given to the West Indians, palaver over corn brought for sale by Clerk. Sarcastic and ironical words of Riis.

                <text>Comments on the manuscript for the new Twi reader. It is still a provisional book till a thorough study of the language has been made. Contents: Sounds, words, little sentences, biblical stories, ten commandments, creed, Lord's prayer, a few short prayers and hymn verses. There should be printed not less than 150 copies. Illustrations to the biblical stories would be of great value. Principles of spelling and word division. Riis pleases to speed up the printing, they need the book badly and do not want the school to become all English. His uncle (Andreas Riis) has been able to send a man from Ashanti proper for their language study with the help of a trader in English Accra. He is fairly well suited for the job.

                <text>Andreas Riis will leave for Europe the next day. He is very bitter against the other missionaries, especially against the young brethren. The house he bought in Ussu and repaired with mission funds he wants the missionaries to pay rent for. He has in it also a Dane, Dr.Hansen, who sells brandy in it, even on a Sunday. Riis sold much of his clothes and even mission clothes, which the missionaries would badly need for the West Indians.

                <text>Glad that the committee at last agrees to the stationing of a missionary at Christiansborg. About Riis’ house at Ussu: Dr. Hansen whom he allowed to stay in the hones is drunk daily and makes a lot of noise. He pleases the committee send them goods. There are only guns and powder to be got in the fort and their instructions prohibit them to sell such. Their own people at Akropong have been stealing from the missionaries, especially interpreter and supervisor Ashong. He showed no repentence so they had to dismiss him. Good relations and hope with the West Indians. Andreas Riis had auctioned their only horse left, they had to buy it back for the mission. He took it to Akropong, where it created quite a stir, a horse is here as rare as an elephant in Germany. Adum shall be sent to the West Indies with a warship which is due soon there. Went to Ussu because of sickness (abscess on lips) of H. Riis.

                <text>a) Riis: Asked by the committee to give a written statement on the affairs of his uncle Andreas Riis, he does so, though with a painful heart. He argues that both sides are to blame, but that the greater guilt was on the side of his uncle. Having experienced how much the climate can affect the mind, he knows that his uncle has been affected thus heavily and that this explains much. He also knows the need of correction by living together. His uncle was too long alone at Akropong. Sebald, with whom Andreas Riis mainly quarreled, was a little bit rash in judgements and his bodily hidden weakness predisposed him already in Basel to melancholy. He was a man who needed much company and was quickly offended. He hopes that this letter will not deepen the conflict and not carry it into his family. The West Indians were treated wrongly, but much of their complaints were exaggerated or their remedy not in the power of Andreas Riis.  b) Widmann: Confirms the statements of H.N. Riis. The treatment of the West Indians of A. Riis was wrong and harsh. He had an unhappy way to use ironical and sarcastic words and to defame the other missionaries before the West Indians. Circumstances and disease explain much, but the effects were unhappy. He does not know whether fear was not a main motive for the respect he enjoyed among the Africans. The West Indians are now quite satisfied with the treatment they get, although in outward conditions not much has changed. This speaks most strongly against Riis. Halleur’s and Thompson's behaviour he never approved, but matter would have been better if they had been treated differently.

He neglects his proper missionary work, even with his houseboys, promises freedom to slaves for the day of their baptism etc.  p 4: Conversation with the Governor: The Governor would do everything to prevent Riis from going into the interior again, he did not want such a palaver maker, who made costly presents to his favorites in Europe and Africa and interfered in political affairs.  p 5: The house Riis bought at Christiansborg is unsuitable. Why did he buy the plantation? (Abokobi). The trading at Akropong was especially pernicious and took up most of his time and stirred up the envy of the traders on the coast. Very friendly relations to the Methodist missionaries.
