Watertown soll $2000.00 aufbringen, aber Bernhard (Schulsuperintendent) dagegen. Lande und Hoenecke nach West Bend, wo Muehlhaeuser sich wieder durch S. C. u. G. [Sauer, Conrad, und Giese] (nordwestlichen Konferenz) eingemischt hat. Streit in Watertown Gemeinde über Badings Reise. Weitere Frist. Böhmer blamiert uns noch weiter. Guerickes Sohn in Milwaukee. Wir können ihn gebrauchen (Er hat sich als Schwindler gezeigt.) Eichler hat sonderbaren Ton und Unkenntnis unserer Verhältnisse.

(Bading bad Rendant [?] or he has no money yet. Watertown is supposed to raise $2000.00 but Bernhard (school superintendent) objects. Lande and Hoenecke to West Bend, where Muehlhaeuser again interfered through SC & G. [Sauer, Conrad, and Giese] (Northwest Conference). Dispute in Watertown community over Bading's trip. Another deadline. Böhmer continues to embarrass us. Guericke's son in Milwaukee. We can use him (He has shown himself to be a swindler.) Eichler has a strange tone and ignorance of our circumstances.)
