Koehler's Index: 704. 1863, July 8, sent from Manitowoc by Köhler to Reim. Köhler ist unzufrieden mit dem zweizüngigen Wesen, dass wir einerseits lutherisch sein wollen, andererseits vor den unierten Gesellschaften um der materiellen Hilfe willen katzbucheln, während diese Gesellschaften uns gar nicht für recht lutherische halten. Auch sonstige üble Vorkommnisse in der Synode, die uns üblen Hansen machen.

(Köhler is dissatisfied with the two-tongued attitude that on the one hand we want to be Lutheran and on the other hand squabble to the United societies for the sake of material help, while these societies do not consider us really Lutheran at all. Also other bad occurrences in the Synod that make us bad Hansen.)
