Concerning the out-station at Anyinam and the first baptisms there. A fairly big town, made bigger recently by the settlement of Juaben people around it. Judging by the head tax which Atta decided to raise last year, the number of inhabitants must…
Reports the purchase of land in Anyinam, and his plans for the building of a catechists' house. The latter are opposed by Buck, Eisenschmid, and Buhl partly on the grounds that no catechist is earmarked for Anyinam, and partly because Mohr has…
