Koehler's Index: 665. 1863, January 4, sent from Portage City by Ad. Fr. Meyer to Bading. Ist am 11 December in Portage angekommen. Konnte kein Lodging ausser in Wirtshaus finden. Ging in die Buschgemeinde. Lewiston wurde freundlich aufgegangen. In Portage war der Iowaer Rohrlach. Nur wenig Gemeindeglieder. Jetzt nehmen die Methodisten schon ab, und die beiden Gemeinden blicken.
