Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 02.01.1883 Proper date: 02.01.1883 Description An account of the resource Points one to three concern Ramseyer’s general harshness - charging him with treating the Christians like the Asentehens. Points four and six are complaints against low payment - 4 ½ d a day for work in Abetifi 10/- for mercenary work from here to Accra and back. Point five complains that when people want to go to Akwapim to find work Ramseyer does not allow them. There are as also a series of points relating to Ramseyer’s being a bad 'explanation’ to the heathen. He is said to regularly check people who do wrong in the public street, and the heathens now say that they do not want to become Christians because they do not like to be shamed in this way. Ramseyer is said also to drive heathens away from the station as soon as he sees them, and also to have some intimate heathen friends who; he trusts more than he trusts the Christians. In the introduction to the petition Ramseyer is called the 'Principal of this town'. The petition too is has some Biblical knowledge in it - in the introduction is a quotation from the Benedicete 4 and to point seven above is appended a reference to James V , to the point about heathens being driven away a reference to Mark 10.13 The names appended at the foot of the letter are Nathaniel Beko (the presbyter and evangelist), Johannes Ata, and James Boamma.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 26.02.1883 Proper date: 26.02.1883 Description An account of the resource Ramseyer’s first letter shortly after hearing that such a petition existed, and getting some idea of its contents. He reports that he is quite ill with the thought that they might be forced to leave their much-loved field of work without answering the charges in the petition, and asks Praetorius for a hearing. Though he also says he would be prepared to be posted elsewhere. He reckons the real man behind the petition is Boamma. He wants to lapse and take up his old stool office with the new chief. He is angry with Ramseyer because Ramseyer does not flatter him, but warns him constantly against his laziness; especial problem is that Ramseyer will not lend him money, having become wise with experience. Ramseyer says that the letter was actually written down by a man who had to be sent off the station because of his drunkenness – he was clerk to Mr Wesenmayer.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 15.03.1883 Proper date: 15.03.1883 Description An account of the resource A longer and more considered letter from Ramseyer about the petition. When Ramseyer suggested to Beko that together they should go to Akropong to greet the Inspector in view of his not being able to come to Abetifi, he heard that a letter had already been sent to him by the Christians. He aksed if the letter included any accusations, and was assured that this was not the case. Hearing from Dilger what the petition involved, he came to acknowledge to himself that he had been wanting in patience on occasions towards some of the Christians, naming Boamma. ('War ich am ersten Tag niedergeschmettert, so bin ich jetzt seitdem ich diese Angelegenheit dem Herrn vorgelegt habe, ruhig. Ich habe mich vor Ihm geprüft, and erkenne dass ich in Bezug auf Geduld u. Langmuth gegen welche unserer Christen gefehlt habe. Ich bin rasch von Natur u. hie u, da hat mich das träge, flatterhafte Benehmen welche unserer Christen u. das spöttische Wesen eines gewissen James Boamma zu Weilen zu Ungeduld hin gerissen u. ich bedauere wenn bei einer Gelegenheit wo dieser letztere von der Arbeit weglaufend u. erst nach dreimaligen rufen sich einstellend, von mir eine ordentliche Rüge auf dem Arbeitsplatz erhielt. Ich verstehe dass dies ihm sehr unangenehm sein mag. Dies sind etwa die Fälle die Unzufriedenheit haben verursachen können‘). The other points 'he regards as libel, and he is especially concerned at the remark about animals. He asked the Christians whether he had ever layed hands on anyone? They could remember none, and Ramseyer says that even towards the boys he has been very 'reserved' in this way. Ramseyer writes a long paragraph about Boamma, who he believes wrote the petition first in twi, (so that the drunken clerk's English was a translation rather than the first version). He was earlier an attendant of the Abetifi chief's - after his baptism the missionairies were satisfied with him for a time though he tried to play the leader from time to time. He was also idle and given to drinking. A year after his baptism he was excluded because of adultery and gave them a lot of trouble by trying to get a Christian wife on the station to leave end marry him, although she had a husband, admittedly he had been away a long time. At one stage Ramseyer had to drive him of the station because he was trying to talk the presbyters round to his side. After 1 1/4 years he applied to be re-admitted, having in the meantime married again, and for a time conducted himself well. Then his proud ways began to make trouble - in every little case in which he had to be corrected, and especially when Ramseyer warned him about work, he began to behave badly. Recently Ramseyer has several times called him, and spoken to and prayed with him, but when asked about the root of his bad temper he said only that soon he would have no money with which to buy meat. ‘I have pointed out to him that a true Christian must work, and that through work we are protected from much temptation'. His reaction to being reminded of his farm was that cleaning a farm was women’s work. It seems that now he is thinking about taking up his office with the new chief. Ramseyer is particularly sad at what has occurred because, before the Communion service at the end of the year he had called a conference at which many points were discussed, and Ramseyer said repeatedly that when he checked people it was for their own good. At the end he asked if anyone had anything more on their hearts and the answer apparently was 'No'. He feels that the discontent is connected with the fact that while he used to advance money to the Christians, now he only does in exceptional circumstances. Also he will sell nothing on credit any more (citing cloth). Also his constantly having to drive them to work, and also his efforts to get them to come regularly to prayers and services. And finally (in a postscript) the fact that recently he has had cases of men wanting to divorce heathen wives - for idleness and abuse - which he has forbidden according to New Testament’s practice.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 22.02.1883 Proper date: 22.02.1883 Description An account of the resource The first half mcstly reports the proceedings of the Akim Synod. The 2/3d church tax was put before the Synod as a new measure. The inspector's journey into Akim coincided two deaths - Mrs Buck and Missionary Krauss. Praetorius was also quite ill during his period in Akim - presumably this was why they kept the news of Krauss' death from him for some time. They felt that the movement in Akim was continuing to make progress nevertheless. In Awiakwa there it took some time for a riotous welcome in the jungle to resolve itself into orderly song - they found 25 new catechumen. Admittedly, he writes their motives are various and indeed the whole movement has its national and social side, but onee cannot help being cheered by what has occurred. The communities itself were inspired to set up a new chapel, though the walls were so badly done that they will have to begin again. They will, however, get a grant from the Basel Committee for the building. The achievement of chapel-building in Kukurantumi and Kibi was financially the equivalent of 19/4d and 21/7d per member, respectively. His judgement over Akim is that 'We have here a field of labour which India can scarcely match. On the one side is an unbounded and unequalled ethical depravity and a yearning of the heathen under their heathenism, and one cannot help being joyful over every individual who struggles out of this slough. On the other hand there is a reception of the gospel and a willingness on the part of the local Christians to help the work along.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 20.09.1882 Proper date: 20.09.1882 Description An account of the resource Asante records the Asantehene as saying in reply to their approaches that when his town had been built up again as it had been before then he would welcome-any white man who wanted to visit him, and -welcome following visits, too. Asante also considered that the reply signified the message that the destruction and ruin of Kumasi was the saddest thing which had happened to him and his chiefs, and they would never love someone who had been connected with the destruction as Ramseyer had. Enmity against Ramseyer is still strong – the strength of Ramseyer’s own wish to work in (love for) Kumasi is so strong, however, that he does not see this. The Kumasis are not bowed and want to create their old political power again. The only change is the ending of public ritual murder, though Asante saw and heard signs that it continued in secret. In any case he reckons some other society will be invited to Kumasi, if any ever is, Ramsayer's so-called friends tell him what he wants to hear - and even then an old man, a friend of his, once told him that no-one was more responsible for the breakdown in trade between Kumasi and the north-than Ramseyer. Asante considers that the Kumasis already know well, through Ansah, that Ramseyer's imprisonment did not cause that war. Asante believes, however that the Asantes think their luck was 'taken from them by Ramseyer's imprisonment hence the enmity. And, of course, his staying in Kwahu and working in Asante Akim has not endeared him to Asante --the Asantes think that but for Ramseyer's presence in Kwahu, and the Kwahu belief that he was some sort sf protection for them. Kwahus have returned to the Asante empire. Their gifts of food from the Asantehene also came late, and all the eggs were bad, this signifying that the Asantes were trying to create a situation in which Ramseyer would not-want to return. Asante advises giving up all hope of an Asante mission until the power of Asante is broken, meanwhile contemplation working in the seceded kingdom.
