In a subscript to the Manuscript Ramseyer reports that this is the same old Abraham in Mpraeso about whom he has written: he feels sure that he is lame because of a stroke. Additional material which appears in the manuscripts: The old man's parents though Akwapims had moved to Mpraeso before he was born. Amankwa's successor was Bowi and he was only taken into the service of Adow of Abetifi after the latter had consulted with Bowi. The old man's day-name was Kwasi. Dilger remarks that Kwabi is outstanding in his knowledge of thousands of proverbs and pointed phrases which are the common usage in Twi, and he knows how to use them in explanation and argument. It was in this way that he managed to convey to the old man the Christian message. Abraham was the name usually given to the oldest or first catechumen in a place. Dilger remarks that the love of the world won away from the church the people baptised before him in Mpraeso. So he really is the foundation of the Mpraeso church. Dilger dares to think it is a good foundation and says they can point him out to the candidates and say that his example of faith and the life of faith is a good one. As to his inner life Dilger cannot say, since the old man really has no opportunity to lay it open, but every time Dilger goes to Mpraeso, he says, he finds his face more beautiful, more clear, and more striking. Dilger took a difficult palaver to him, and he sorted it out easily (there were questions of truthfulness and untruthfulness of statements involved).

Apparently land still had not been purchased in Obo. When introducing Afwireng to the Obo chief the question was asked (on the chief's side) what was to happen if a slave became a Christian? Did that mean he must be emancipated? Dilger's reply was that he should stay in his master's household, but be must not be expected to perform heathen rites; also if he were a slave because of debt and the debts were cleared he should of course be released. Two of the old group of catechumens put themselves in immediate touch with the new catechist.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 29.10.1884 Proper date: 29.10.1884 Description An account of the resource This is an annex to a report in English from Ph. Kwabi over his 7 week absence from Mpraeso in connection with an attempt to conciliate in a dispute between the Agogos and the Asante Akims which seemed on the point of breaking out into war - in fact Kwabi's language suggests that there were brawls during the negotiation sessions though these never escalated into the use of firearms. The dispute was over land at Fwerem, also over the question of whom was to serve. Mention is also made of the fact that Agogo served the Asantehene though in the course of the negotiations, the Agogohene proposed to try to get under British protection also. Kwabi's report ismostly taken up with accounts of unsuccessful arbitration sessions. There seems to be in it a little doubt about the political geography of Asante Akim. Oda Kwa is described as the chief of Bompata and the leader, but Kwaku Emu at Dwansa is described as the Head Chief of Asante Akim, giving much trouble through his ambition and hautiness. The most important point is probably that the Agogohene sent messengers to Dilger to come and settle the dispute, and he directed Kwabi to go instead. Kwabi was accompanied by 3 Christians of Mpraeso and two from Abetifi. Two of these he name's, Johannes Atta and Moses Ano. This deputation seems to have been accompanied by one from the Abetifi chief. It almost looks as if Kwabi was regarded as an emissary of his, for he is charged with taking an account of the negotiations back to the Abetifi chief. The Agogo chief was also in contact with Kumawu, Obo, and Aduaroa, at least in his search for men to support him. Two further points - the chief of Bompata scoffed at the advice he bad had from the Governor to keep the peace and cited a recent case where there had been fighting at Koromantine and the Government had only fined them £100.' Also Kwabi slept at Teteabo on the first night out of Abetifi after an 11 hour march. Next day he could not walk, but on applying to the Agogo chief he was sent hammock-carriers. Dilger writes about this episode firstly that it shows the character of the Asante Akims in the true light. Dilger felt that he could not leave his family and the station in a situation of war-likelihood. Kwabi however, has a good reputaticn in Asante Akim and Agogo, and was in fact dashed 18 dollars by the Agogo chief and elders who he left - if he had stayed right to the end of the crisis he would have got more, but he was called back by the Obo king. Nevertheless he is probably most responsible (after God) for the peaceful outcome of the crisis. Sumearising the crisis Dilger writes that the Afwirem chief drank fetish to serve Asante Akim, because he had suffered much trouble from the lack of justice he was receiving in Agogo. Since this was likely to lead to war the Asante Akims took the initiative. Dilger hears that they had sworn to raze Agogo to the ground. If Kwabi and the Abetifi Christians had not been there to force a public discussion of the case between the two parties war would have broken out straight away. Involved was the fact that since the Bompata people have been in Bompata, their land at Amantra has been regarded as under the Agogohene, so this was an opportunity for them to take up this question too - Dilger’s opinion is that the Bompata people want to return to Amantra, and that the rest of the Asante Akims would be content to see them go. While Kwabi was in Agogo he preached twice daily to great concourse of children – although the king was opposed to this at the beginning. He is not so much in favour that he has applied to be sent a teacher.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 25.11.1884 Proper date: 25.11.1884 Description An account of the resource Another annex to Kwabi’s report. This is written from Aburi - Ramseyer is grieved that Dilger does not write to him as his superior, and to find out about the Agogo expedition. He (Ramseyer) was forced to write direct to Kwabi and enquire why he has left his station for so long. Part of his anxiety was on account of rumours he heard in Aburi that Kwabi was heavily involved in trade, although Ramseyer is pleased to report that this is calumny. Ramseyer’s letter adds nothing to one's knowledge of the conflict itself, only to the administrative side of the mission’s reactions. He says Kwabi has a gift for settling such matters, but he should never have taken money from the Agogo people. This suggests to them that he has been an arbitrator (they do not understand the concept of paying for time expended) whereas the missionaries are supposed to steer clear of politics. They may however, settle disputes. Ramseyer wishes he had preached in the surrounding villages and that the acceptance of the money has formalised his position. Ramseyer has in fact once before (in 1882) made him return money received from the Kwahu chiefs for writing a letter on their behalf. Ramseyer also says he thinks Dilger’s judgement that there was danger for the Abetifi station far-fetched - Agogo is a town of 3000 and whatever had happened to it could not have represented much danger for Abetifi.
