MISSION TO ASHANTEE.

lent disposition of the lower order of Ashantees, which is as vexa- 
tious to him as to you. He is satisfied however, that this man came 
to his death by his own hands. 
The King wishes you to adjust the palaver between the Com- 
mendas and Elminas, as soon as convenient to you; that all the 
people who serve him may be united, relying entirely on your 
justice. 
The King will thank you very much if you will make the people 
of Cape Coast, Elmina, and Commenda " all one together." 
The little palaver between these people, is the only one remain-? 
ing ; and therefore, though it is not his, he wishes you to settle it. 
The King hereby, and by his messenger, empowers his nephew 
Adoo Bradie, and the Captain Quantree, to receive the gold 
from the deputies of Commenda in your presence. 
You must settle the compliments and fees, which the Com- 
mendas send to the King's linguists and captains. 
The King hopes you will advise the people of Amissa, through 
some medium, to retract their insolent message to the King, that 
the whole of the Fantee territory may be quiet. 
The King has condescended personally to solicit Mr. Bowdich 
to protract his stay fifteen days, and obliged all his captains to the 
same condescension, so that you will consider it the King's act 
from the wish to send him down with an honourable escort, and 
other marks of his favour. 
The King wishes you health and happiness. 
The mark X of Sai Tootoo Quamina, &c. 
In the presence of 
Wm. Hutchison. 
Henry Tedlie.
