Koehler's Index: 710. 1863, July 23, sent from Manitowoc by Köhler to Reim. Möchte eigenwillig weg aus Amerika wegen der kirchlichen und politischen Quertreibereien. Will’s aber überlegen. Kann die Unterscheidung zu Berlin und Langenberg nicht gelten lassen. Beide sind uniert. Fachtmann hat als Glied nach Sekretär der Minnesotasynode bei uns über Seminar beraten beschliessen helf. Muehlhaeuser wurde das doch wissen. Bading steht auch nicht mehr so entschieden seit er Praeses ist, und die Reise nach Deutschland wird noch mehr zeitigen. Hier aber wird wohl bald ein luth. Feld offen.

(Would like to leave America willfully because of the ecclesiastical and political obstructions. But will think about it. Cannot accept the distinction between Berlin and Langenberg. Both are united. Fachtmann, as a member of the Secretary of the Minnesota Synod, helped us decide on a seminar. Muehlhaeuser would know that. Bading isn't so determined anymore since he was praeses, and the trip to Germany will produce even more. Here, however, a Lutheran field will probably soon open up.)
