(Take care of the vests. Should go to St. Paul. (Moldehnke?) is soon to come west to his traveling preacher field. Hate shouldn't go to Fort Atkinson, it should go to Mormon Valley. But Richfield, Town of Polk, must be taken care of soon. Draws attention to the Iowans in Kilbourn City. Fachtmann has an open mind for the future of the West.)
