A year ago the Governor (Strahan) urged him to write to him privately if the need ever arose - he did this over he risks of the Kwahu mission, and forwards Strahan’s reply. He also remarks that it is difficult to get masons to go to Begoro because of the difficulties of securing adequate food supplies there and that the whole of Akim seems to be in that difficulty.

However he wants to wait on the return of Gouldsbury from his next trek before expressing himself further. Letter from 24 February 1876 Gouldsberry has no information on Kwahu, but Strahan would be ‘surprised’ if – whatever attempts were made ba the Asantes vis-à-vis Kwahu, the Europeans were in any way ’molested’.

The main material of interest in the printed passage is the number of candidates for baptism (21 men), the employment of 7 on the building, and the missionaries' determination that they should learn orderly and regular work so that they should not be dependent for their living on the sad activity that passes for trade. Their baptismal training includes being taught to read. In the passages not printed are the following points of interest: The letter concerns the plans for building the mission house in Begoro. It appears that the idea of a two-storey house has been evolved by Mohr himself on the grounds of the saving which will be involved if they do not have to create such large area of roof space and foundations as would be needed if the mission house was a single storey building; with an equal length of store houses etc. in a parallel single storey as he found was the case at Kibi. In Abetifi was built a 2 storey-house.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 17.04.1876 Proper date: 17.04.1876 Description An account of the resource Includes his excuses for not having written an 1875 Year's Report - he was too busy with the installation of the new missionaries in Begoro and Abetifi. Also during the quarter the subordinate personnel on the station changed - Obeng went to Begoro, Adaw and Tenkorang to Akwapim. He had recently baptised 4 out of a group of 25 catechumens, all young adults. Many catechumens were not baptised because they had travelled into Kwahu with the new missionaries and had thus missed their baptismal instruction. Street preaching Kibi is now attended by numbers of Juabens - but no longer by the Okyenhene who has allowed himself to be persuaded against this step by his elders, (There is a note by Buhl who had been in Kibi a couple of months previously that this never was a sincere step, simply a manoeuvre made with his eyes on the English colonial government). At the end of the quarter there were 10 catechumens. The Christian village there is increasing more quickly than the one in Kukurantumi because most of the baptised Christians are ex-slaves who feel freer on a mission land than they would living near their former masters. Reports the Juabens are showing little desire to settle on the land given them by the English government. They say that if the English government will not help them to their revenge, then they will set out again and join up with the tribes to the north of Kumasi who are opposed to the authority of Kumasi. He gives the names of these as Nkoranza, Korakye, Brong, Worawora, Sai and Boa. Almost daily Juabens arrive who have fled from Kumasi, who report that the Kumasi people are afraid of the return of the Juabens strengthened from the protectorate. They say Kumasi is partly in ruins, and that grass grows on the streets, there is a great shortage of foodstuffs in Kumasi and the whole of Asante proper. The disorder is so great that an official of the new king’s has taken one of the king’s wives and fled with her to Cape Coast. There is further war between Kumasi and Mampong; Mampong had wanted to move away and go to Krakye. Gyaman has also declared war against Kumasi. Thus the peace in which they have been able to set up the Kwahu station. He adds tout court that the Kwahu people come originally from the other side of the Afram, out of the land of the Sai people.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 04.01.1877 Proper date: 04.01.1877 Description An account of the resource Personnel on the station now includes Cat, Tim. Mullings, and Cat. C.L. Meyer. During the year the numbers in the community had increased from 14 to 56, there were 35 communicants and 4 children, 17 non-communicants. There were 14 catechumens as he wrote the report. In the boarding school there were two teachers in addition to Meyer as housefather - Jonathan Asumen, and Jonas Oware. 44 pupils. At Kukurantumi (he gives the area of Mission Land at 18 acres) the number in the community rose from 24 to 36 with 18 communicants, 2 non-communicants, and 16 children. There were 7 catechumens as he wrote the report. There 21 were 18 pupils in the school. The two new teachers in Kibi were both Akims. Asante writes that though not so gifted as the catechists they could have achieved better results with their pupils (the two lowest classes) if they had worked more conscientiously. The movement of people into out of the community included a loss of 16 people through their moving away, and a gain of 8 by their moving to Kibi, 31 by baptism of the heathen, and 3 by baptism of children of Christian parents. The life of the community is described in generalities - the heathen sins of adultery and becoming indebted were not absent; the Christians were making farms more willingly than in the past; 2 young men were apprenticed to a carpenter in Kibi, two more were about to be went to learn locksmithery at Christiansborg. Asante and the catechists travelled between them 45 days and worked in the following towns: Apiraman, Kade, Nkwatanan, Otumi, Asuom, Baneso, Takyimamma, Tumfa, Adadentem, Pano, Tete, Sagyimase, Asiakwa, Saman, Osine, Anyinam, Mease, Anyinasin, Dwenase, Abompe, Akenkawase, Kwaben, Asafo, Akoko, Afwenease, Akurofu, Awenade, Apapam, Afiesa, Apedwa-Krobo, Nkroso and Atfiionso and Wirenkyiren.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 05.01.1877 Proper date: 05.01.1877 Description An account of the resource The pupils are from several inland tribes, and brought by their parents - not as before recruited after hard work by the missionaries, In fact many boys had to be turned away. 44 is the largest number they can accommodate. Most of the new pupils are small boys. No pupils were expelled (in spite of a rule that the third detected lie would be punished by expulsion) - and one was transferred to the Akropong Middle School. The school and the pupils had a troubled year. At beginning some of the ex-slave boys were severely treated - even beaten - by their ex-masters. They were also forced to give an 8-week holiday instead of the usual 3 week holiday, because with the presence of Hausa soldiers followed by the Juaben refuges there was a severe shortage of food. At the end of the year they were again forced to give an unexpected vacation due to an epidemic of chicken pox. They have started a farm on land beyond the mission land's boundaries to the South-East.

The other catechumens are receiving almost daily instruction. Asante is running a night school (in addition to earlier instituted Sunday school), in the former many members and catechumens have learned to read. Several heathen young men who do not intend to be baptised have also started attending the night school. The members of the community themselves asked for this night school after Asante had several times himself attempted something of the kind and failed. They have made a law among themselves to punish anyone absent without good reason with a fine. Asante writes that this is not evangelical practice but still necessary in Akim. A catechist appointed to Kibi in the middle of the year, Samuel Gyima, is a Kibi man and had to be suspended almost on arrival for having committed adultery in Akropong. He repeats a request for a diacon to assist him in Kibi. If this request were granted he would transfer Mullings to Asiakwa and start the chain of outstations he wants to create between Akim and Kwahu, though he adds in passing, that he should think also about the North and North West of Akim -the bulk of the schoolboys from outside Kibi and Kukurantumi come from this area and all the baptised school boys are from Kwaman. A path goes from Kibi to Kwahu via Kwaman but it is not as direct as the other path.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 18.10.1876 Proper date: 18.10.1876 Description An account of the resource Out of the graduates of the school up to 1876 had come 2 catechists, 2 teachers, and 3 fathers of Christian families. This is a history of the Kibi school written from Asante's own knowledge and the information in the school-records. The key moment of change for the school was after the emancipation of 1874 'when instead of tyranny and oppression (a period of) freedom and equality (arrived)’. The youth of Akim used this freedom to start coming to school. Most come from Kibi, Asiakwa and the North West. 3 are from Asante - a Kwahu whose uncle brought him to the school before the missionaries were established at Abetifi, a Juaben, and a boy from Kumasi who before had been a slave following capture as prisoner of war. It is a real haven for once slave youths - the masters are still trying to force people to remain slaves, but no-one dare touch a pupil at the Boarding School. Now ex-slaves sit next to boys from free and noble families in the boarding school - it is interesting to see the ex-slave sitting next to the boy from the royal family, and hear the former say to the latter 'Kosa nsu bra afei yew ungina ye pe’ which Asante translates to mean 'Go and fetch water, we are all alike now'. 5 of the boys who entered the school are baptismal candidates have applied for baptism - they are all older boys.
