The committee is not ready to send out teachers. He saw himself forced to close the school at Labadi-at first temporarily, then definitively. He will have to do the same at Teshi (p 2). He has concluded a contract with Mr. Lutterodt for the erection of a chapel for 500 dollars (p 2). Thompson does not show deep repentance but is obedient. It is a pity that he had to go. He was the best schoolmaster they had. His wife is a model in fidelity and piety (p 3). Explains why he can’t yet preach without an interpreter - too busy to learn the language. The teacher Heinze form the Gossner mission has returned after a fortnight only to Tantum, their station (p 5). The Hamburg missionaries still there. Yesterday one went to Krepee to explore possibilities there. About Ningo: He will hurry nothing but the Missionary Society should spare no money to get a connected mission field. This does not mean competing with the Wesleyans (p 5).

They are now called: David Dieterle, William D. Hoffmann, Paul Staudt, Isaak Ostertag. The parents and relatives were not opposed to their baptism. Curious idea: A baptised person should not carry a load on his head. The fetishpriests have a peculiar stone. If their head is touched with it, they are not allowed to carry any load afterwards (p 1). They held several weeks their meetings under the trees, but now the new school is finished. Widmann went to Abonse to fetch grass for the roof. But in vain, they asked for Rum. So he sent to Late. There the fetish prohibits the carrying of grass to Akrppong, but they did it for them as white people without difficulties. 100 people had to go twice all the long way. A pity they cannot yet open a school at Late (p 2). Kwaw Dade, the paramount chief, has secretly left for Akira, because he is too deeply in debt and the Governor insists on payment, keeping some palm oil traders from Akropong captive. Kwaw Dade told the Akropong people to come and stay with him in Akim. Widmann was asked for advice and told them to stay, the Governor would not burn down their town. The people made mumusu yi sacrifices to get Kwaw Dade back (pp 2-3). Adukrum made a visit there. The chief hanged himself, being so poor. The people said that Riis had promised them a white missionary (p 3). Financial difficulties of the mission (pp 3-4).

Elders wanted to remove to Akim where Kwaw Dade had gone on account of debts inherited from his predecessors and the civil wars. People pay him no taxes. Missionaries council to remain; the Governor could reach them at Akim also and the removal would only cause new debts (pp 2-3). Description of the new school building: Partition wall can be taken out for sunday services. School children want presents and cloth on Christmas. The Krontihene Buafo retracted his son from school when there were no clothes distributed on Christmas. But he comes again to school now (p 3). Jonas Hosford ran away from Akropong. He was offended that Dieterle had urged him to keep away from watching funerals and pagan performances. He went to British Accra.

Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 21.03.1848 Proper date: 21.03.1848 Description An account of the resource Mainly concerning the future of the West Indians. After three month everyone must have made up his mind whether to return or to stay. Those remaining shall get stone houses (size and way of building laid down). They shall be encouraged to plant, not only the usual local yams etc. but also cocoyams, coffee, groundnut, pepper, cotton. For cotton they need a weaver's loom (p 9 and p 3 on planting) pp 1-4: Widmann, Dieterle, Mohr. pp 4-7: Schiedt. The West Indians need not only food, but also money since their standard of life is higher than that of the local Africans. The Mission must give them employment. Akropong is too far from the coast, transport too costly, so that they cannot sell their product to traders on the coast and on ships. pp 7-10: Stanger. The weaving is a good idea, it could employ many and the cloth could be sold to the interior and this would cheapen transports. Akropong would be suitable. The weavers loom should be made after a model in Akropong itself. But the time for this is probably not yet ripe; the brethren too busy otherwise (pp 7-8). Future of the West Indians: Pleads to settle them on the plantation (Abokobi): Fertile land, cattle can live there, good transport possibility (Government road), good holiday station for missionaries on the coast. A missionary should"_ be stationed there as well (pp 8-10). P 11: Meischel is against a station at Abokobi. But a holiday house should be built there and baptised Africans given occasion to plant. Ningo and Krobo as places for new stations more urgent. pp 11-12: Widmann and Dieterle on the proposal of the missionaries on the coast. Abokobi as station not suitable, land not more fertile. On the Accra plantation only once a year coffee yielding, here twice. Sugar cane not suitable for Akwapim, except Adjemante. Coffee could be transported to the coast, annually many thousands of pots with palm oil transported to the cost from the Adukrum plantation (p 12).
