He argues that Dauromadam is necessary for Anum: but that also the local trade of the post could be built up. Suggests instead of a resident European that the local assistant who handles trade be joined by a catechist.
Gives no very clear opinion over the question which troubles him: Dauromadam. Believes it is necessary to preserve Dauromadam as an intermediate point between Anum and the coast, but health-wise it really ought not to be under the care of a European.…
Committee's original plan: to send Rottmann, Fetzer and Meier to Anum. Meantime Meier had died, so Klaus had been added to the list. They regret that none of these is ordained, but accept that the shortage of missionaries enforces this. However, none…
