Koehler's Index: 742. 1863, September 22, sent from St. Paul by Fachtmann to Reim. Fachtmann ist Glied der Minnesota Synode und früher, muss nach Gemeindeordnung der (späteren) Minnesota Synode angehören, hat ausgesprochenermassen den Anschluss an Wisconsin Synode, deren Glied er noch sei, festgehalten. Heyer will mit Passavant besondere Minnesota Synode und eher Verbindung mit Generalsynode um d. Missouriern Gegengewicht zu setzen. Heyer hat mit ihm über der schwankende Stellung der Wisconsin Synode richtig von sein Standpunkt [?] geredet. So auch auf d. Pennsylvania Synode Fachtmann will austreten aus der Wisconsin Synode, wenn man das fordert. Zu Manitowoc soll das in nächsten Jahr zur Entscheidung kommen.

(Fachtmann is a member of the Minnesota Synod and formerly, must belong to the (later) Minnesota Synod according to the congregational statutes. Heyer wants with Passavant special Minnesota Synod and rather connection with General Synod around d. Missourians to counterbalance. Heyer spoke to him about the shaky position of the Wisconsin Synod right from his point of view [?]. So also on d. Pennsylvania Synod Fachtmann wants to resign from the Wisconsin Synod if demanded. Manitowoc is due to make a decision on that next year.)
