Kpopa Section 
Dear Chief: 
I received your verbal query about the foreigners 
operating in your section* I wish to inform you that I only 
heard of their arrival by rumour* I am addressing a letter to 
Dr. Mann and his party to remain at Benda j a pending their 
sending down to me their papers before they proceed further. If 
they have gone beyond Benda j a you will invite 3 them back to Ben- 
da j a. 
In the case of Mr* Paul, West agent, the German doctor 
and the other doctor, you will advise them not to go near the 
British boundary* You will take note secretly of the number of 
guns they have and laborers as well as their general activities 
and report to me immediately* Any information that you may have 
not contained in this letter, you will please forward them. You 
will treat this letter in strict confidence • 
I think it advisable that you place an intelligent 
messenger with them to observe their activities* 
With sentiments of my regard, I am 
Faithfully yours, 
T. Elwood Davis 0 
Supt. Gr. Cape Mount Co* 
Inasmuch as the letter was strictly confidential we were 
amused to have the Chief bring it to usvto read to him, although 
when I first glanced at it I asked him if he knew what was in it 
and he said he did. We had certainly done our best to present 
our papers in person while we were in Cape Mount. We had heard 
first that Davi s was in Mombo, and as we were going through Mombo 
we expected to meet him there. Then we heard he was in Sugari, 
but he was not there the day we were, v/e sent our papers down 
to him by messenger today.

Bill and I spent the morning fishing one small stream near 
town and got a number of fishes, although they seem very similar 
to those we have collected elsewhere* I photographed several 
group s of natives who passed us on the path while we were there, 
notably one group of men carrying the complete outfit for making 
cane juice - tank, coil, and enormous wooden mallets to crush 
the sugar cane*
