The letter also contains what news the Governor has of the ambassadors sent to London by Asante (Ramseyer adds the marginal comment that the Ansahs are sons of the dead Prince Ansah, and of no good reputation). It informs him too that protection is being given to all the tribes who ask for it (Nkoranza specifidally named, also Bekwai and Adansi). Ramseyer can himself give this information to Yaw Sapong. The Kokofus are being told they can return to their lands under British protection. They are being given every encouragement to detach themselves and they will not be harmed by an expedition, providing they remain allof. Arms and a detachment of Hausas will probably be sent up to the Nkoranzas in order to make a flank attack on Kumasi if war breaks out. Rös’ letter had included information about the Kong people and the soldiers of Aberewa Opoku. Hodgson relies that Samory had sent messages seeking British friendship and trade with the coast. The Gyamanhene has sent messages asking for protection against Samory, but has been told that he is on the French side of the 'Anglo-French frontier' and unless he moves into British territory he must approach the French for help. There will probably be no arrangement between Samory and Kumasi - the messengers of Samory whom Ramseyer had heard had visited Kumasi were probably concerned with trade between Bonduku and Kumasi and since Samory wants free communication with the coast he will hardly do anything to offend the British Government.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 25.10.1895 Proper date: 25.10.1895 Description An account of the resource Celebrates Hodgson's letter, and suggests that stations be set up in Nkoranza and either Kumawu or Mampong. He also asks for additional staff in early 1896 — 3 missionaries, young, but experienced and practical men (he suggests Lochmann, Kurz and Lienhardt) and 3-4 local agents also - especially he must have 2 capable catechists for the immediate settlement of Nkoranza and Kumawu/Mampong after he and Perregaux have returned from a reconnaissance in early 1896. Subscripts to this letter – dated 12 Nov 1895 Müller curtly writes that there can be no question of reconnaissance or new stations while war clouds hang over the area. When the British are in control, then one station can be opened - Kumasi or Nkoranza.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.03.1895 Proper date: 20.03.1895 Description An account of the resource At a preaching in Amfoi he had discovered considerable support for the restoration of the school, and a form of words which seems to have implied that the elders were quite aware of the special role of the teacher in relation to the children, and furthermore accepted this as the way Christianity would enter their town (i.e. they accepted the content of the Christian message, but could not understand why the teacher had been taken away since there were so many children in their town). Part of the support for the teacher had come from an elder who had in fact sent two sons with the previous teacher when he was posted back to Akwapim - they were now in Class V in Late. The report is partly about problems and policy. It is known informally in the Volta Region and formally in Akropong that the Colonial Government in Togo wants the Basel Mission schools in its territory to teach German. Also it asks for financial support for the senior Volta Region pupils in Anum and Akropong – there were several who had either begun or were within two years of beginning the Middle School course. The latter include four from Vakpo, the most gifted of whom were a son and a nephew of a convert, the nephew being the son of the chief, and four from Ntwumuru. As a background to its suggestions, however, it offers a picture of the position of schools especially in the stations around Anum and between the Abo and the Konsu. The children, Martin writes, like children in Europe do not like the loss of freedom involved in going to school. But providing there is a teacher who understands them and loves them they soon get keen on school (He gives the impression theat the stick is used rarely). Their parents, however, and their maternal uncles, have aims in sending their children to school which differ from those of the missionaries. The main hope is that in 2 of 3 years they will have learned one or two of the high status languahes their parents want them to learn - Twi and English. Martin offers several examples of the value placed on the former. There is a boy from Dsake at the Kpalime School who does not go to the Bremen Schools as he should because his parents want him to learn Twi - this is the root of the wish of the people at Abofrom to be linked to the Basel Mission (via Tsate), and was behind the recent request from Sirikpo for a teacher (In this connection he complains that none of the mission agents have learned Ewe - even Hall, whom be regards as an excellent preacher and popular, uses an interpreter in the Ewe areas). One factor making for difficulty in the schools is that uncles are unwilling to see their nephews, who should make custom for them after their death and thus help to ensure them a proper status in the after-life, moving into the Christian community. Also he cites two cases of people who were rich enough not to worry whether their children went to school at all - one of them the richest man in Anum, who indulges in a lot of conspicuous hospitality to display his wealth. The Anum School has its own coffee plantations, and the boys have also cleared an area for a maize farm.

He gives the objective of his journey surveying the district in order to find a suitable place for a European Mission station to serve the Krakye-Buem-Adele area. Explaining that in the area of this particular journey Twi could be used widely Mischlich lists the Twi-speakeing places as Worawora, Apeso, Asafo, Tapa in Buem, Akroso, Apaso, Abenkro, Tuntum in Krakye, and Dodo and Adumadum in- Tribu. The trek was undertaken by a party of 5 including one of the Worawora teachers. On the first day they reached the Asuokoko, where their preaching received a friendly reception, and the chief promised to send children to the school in Worawora. There was a lot of fish poisoning going on in the Asuokoko (he describes the technique in the same way as it is described in Kwahu letters, and the plant involved is the same - efwe). There were settlements of Buems along the Asuokoko, and Krakyes along the Oti, the main occupations on both rivers being fish-poisoning and hunting. Kete - you meet here Africans from the Tsandwolands, Dagomba Grusi, Nossi, Borgu, Gurma, and even Timbuktu. Its population may usually be in the region of 5,000 - but with the constant shifting population (perhaps only 2000 people are actually permanent residents) it may fluctuate from 2,000 to 10,000. The market is held daily. He saw donkeys there, and on sale in the market salt, beads of all colours, agate, European and local cloth (the latter of far better quality), nails, tread, knives, leaf tobacco, yam tubers, cassava, heaps of all kinds and colours of bananas and plantains, peppers, onions, tomatoes, mutton, beaf, and goat-flesh, dried and smoked fish, maize, millet, palm-oil and palm-kernels, shea-butter, palm wine, local beer, beautiful raffia work in various colours, kola nuts from Ateobu. Previously in the middle of the market had been a group of clay huts from which the representatives of Dente had ruled the market, but these were destroyed at the same time that Dr Grün had the priest of Dente executed. Travelling around Krakye he saw one slave being badly beaten for attempting to run away, and remarks that since freedom is available many slaves run away, especially since many are treated harshly. He remarks that it is a precious gift being born free in a Christian country. Krakye town he feels should be established as a station for a mission agent - Kete looks like becoming a second Kpong or Akuse, and merchants know enough to value schooling.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 30.09.1895 Proper date: 30.09.1895 Description An account of the resource He advises that Akabu and Akposo must be regarded as Bremen areas - it is impossible to work in that district with Twi. Eliminating alternative sites to Adele for a new station for European missionaries he advises that Buem is too far south, and Krakye unsuitable because of climate, cost of food, and lack of building materials (not because of the opposition of the chief and priest of Dente - this is irrelevant now the district is a colonial territory). He also cites a reference as setting out views against a near placing of a European mission station and a European colonial officials' centre with which most people agree. In Adele a station could be built in the neighbourhood of Ketsenke (303 huts therefore c900 inhabitants, and 600m above sea level). Alternatively there is the site near Bismarckburg, 710m high, with villages within 1/2 hours walk in three different directions - Tege Kwankwa - Odome and Ketsenke. Christaller's suggestions of Pereu and Odadeasa are not suitable the first as the seat of the chief fetish, the second as it is on the plains. The house should have three rooms for a married missionary pair and one room for a missionary bachelor, be built of clay and roofed with dorrugated iron (perhaps brought in from Krakye) since building wood is scarce and there is no wood for shingles. A middle school should be contemplated, teaching the German language, and making this part of the mission self-sufficient in terms of recruitment of local staff. The Basel Mission local agents from the English Gold Coast will naturally not want to stay in German territory long, nor have their children brought up where English is not spoken taught. Pastor Hall is an example of this - he is hoping for a transfer to his home area. Adele would also be a good starting point for missionary journeys into the non-Twi speaking areas further north – Salaga-Yendi (i.e. Dagomba) though this is closed currently, and towards Tsantso, where the Timu language is spoken by 1/2 million people. The German Colonial Government are willing to hand over the Bismarckburg settlement, and Mischlich proposes to settle it with a teacher at the beginning of the dry season - he presses the mission to act on his recommendations. Finally he quotes an article in the “Deutsches Kolonialblatt” 15 July 1895 p 356 encouraging the Basel Mission by name to move forward into the area he has been considering. Over Krakye he makes the suggestion that Clerk should be moved there - the Catholics have their eye on the district. He makes another reference to the “Calwer Missions Blatt” No 7 from July 1895. Missionary Härter wrote there about marriage problems at Keta, the only reference to Europeans being the problem of handling marriage situations in which European merchants were involved.
