Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 03.02.1862 Proper date: 03.02.1862 Description An account of the resource He discusses building plans and reports difficulty with the sawyer’s work because of laziness. Strömberg replies to criticisms made to him by Inspector Josenhans, especially over his suggested wife over whom he had asked the Basel Committee to open negotiations on his behalf. The lady was mentioned in an earlier letter to Basel as a daughter of Dr. Fjellstedt. The Basel letter seems to have raised some questions about her social background. Strömberg protests that he was raised in the upper classes just like the members of the Basel Mission Committee, and since the missionaries of the Basel Mission come from the same class, too he has to battle inter alia with the characteristic spirit of that class. He is not convinced that he should find his wife from the same social class as the missionaries on the Gold Coast. There is an article in Heidenbote 1862 pp55ff entitled 'The crisis in our West African Mission' which is partly concerned with the problem of relations between wives from different social and national background. There is a reply from Josenhans (Series D-2, No 7 in the Kibi letter book, folio 100) from 12th December 1862 which is addressed to both Kromer and Strömberg. Strömberg does not seem to have noticed this in his reply. Paragraph 2 deals with the wives, and the sentences to which Strömberg appears to have taken exception is 'eine solche Tochter in die Afrikanischen Verhältnisse hineinsenden nach Kibi, das ist eine Unmöglichkeit. Von uns hat niemand den Muth bei Fjellstedt anzuhalten. Das musst Strömberg selbst thun’. This follows a sentence which states that Fjellstedt's elder daughter had married a Baron, and the other two were likely to go the same way. Most of the paragraph is about the dangers of having wives in a station before the accommodation was ready - this had been the root of the trouble over the Haas’ family at Gyadam according to Josenhans.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 05.05.1862 Proper date: 05.05.1862 Description An account of the resource The letter is concerned partly with impressions - he obviously feels surrounded by an alien and hard society. In the palace in Kibi the first thing you see as you go in is an image, with an offering, of food in front of it. The king himself is usually drunk. They have had to deal with a case of a slave woman left to die on the street, because people prefer slaves not to die in their houses. They took her into the missionary quarters, and tended her till her death two days later, at which friends came with clothes, some gold dust and a dish of fufu as an offering. Strömberg spoke to them about their superstitions and accompanied the body to a grave in the bush where he said a prayer - thus they show the people that they have come for the good of their fellow men, and not for their own advantage. Although he does not say this clearly he is obviously on the side of the Basel Committee over the slave question, saying that it is at the root of much of the harshness. They are faced with theft, lying, laziness, begging, the latter even from the king. There are rays of light - old Jacobo from Gyadam is with them, very attached to them, and very quiet in his ways. And in Kukurantumi the people are singing Christian hymns, although they are still heathen.

Reasons offered include the point that he thinks he will have to remain single in the Basel Mission if he does not marry a German girl, and he feels neither is his calling, and that he is able to do nothing to help his mother (who is in considerable need after the death of his father), in view of his position in the Basel Mission.

The mission were already clearly considering the point that Asante had relatives in Kumasi, and wondering what could be made of this, but the project was negative on the grounds that 1. Harneck (on whose initiative the trip was discussed) was felt to be too young to impress the Asantehene. 2. The money involved (£40-50 on one calculation) would have to be specially assigned by the Basel Committee. 3. The Methodists with their greater financial resources had already set things in train to Kumasi. The whole idea originally came up because Harneck had had a letter from ‘Reverent Ansah' saying that the Asantehene was prepared to have missionaries in his country.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 18.01.1864 Proper date: 18.01.1864 Description An account of the resource The station is called the white-man's village by the Kibi people. During 1863 catechist Joseph Ofei had to be excluded for immorality. They have had little time for preaching journeys beyond the immediate surroundings of Kibi but have preached regularly in Kibi especially when the people have assembled from distant places. He feels the people must sooner or later respond to the proclamation of the non-existence-of fetishes and the deceitfulness of the priests. In 1863 a fetish priest in Kibi was either killed or else committed suicide after poisoning 7 people. And another advised a wealthy man that he was ill because someone envied his fine farm - if he were to have the best fruits from the farms strewn at the entrance of the village they would know who the envious one was because it would be he who stole them. The fetish priest was himself caught stealing the fruits. Reporting on the community - Jakobo goes on his quiet way but the elder Abraham is concerned only with material things, though it is true that he has given up drinking since he became a Christian. The two ex-Gyadam pupils had to be excluded from the Catechists' Seminary because of immorality, and Georg Pabi of Kukurantumi left the Seminary because he found the discipline too hard. However, the first Kibi man has been baptised and 6 youths baptised in Kukurantumi at the beginning of the year are a shining example. There are 10 Kibi catechumens over whom Eisenschmid expresses anxiety.

They attend fairly regularly and many of them would like to live on the station. Some seem to be really gaining something from baptismal instruction. In Kukurantumi the numbers vary between the six boys who are baptised and live with the catechist to about 17. The children said at one point in the year that no more children would go to the school unless a white man came to live in Kukurantumi (the missionaries agree that Catechist Burkhardt is not satisfactory and that he has not won the confidence of people for scholars).
