Koehler's Index: 689. 1863, May 1, sent from Town Herman, Dodge County, by Sauer to Bading. Ist nach Kripplein Christi verzogen. In Immanuel, Gnaden und Beckelsgemeinde ist Gefahr des Unionismus, den die Synode vor sieben Jahren einführte und letzter Jahr Sauer zur Last legte. Tritt für “Gnaden” gegen Beckelsgemeinde ein. “Gnaden” hat sich d. luth. Bekenntnis gefügt. Die soll man jetzt nicht sitzen lassen.
