Koehler's Index: 756. 1863, October 16, sent from Berlin by Eichler to Bading. 3000 y sind gesammelt und angelegt. Zu Bezug auf Seminar bleibt bei d. Deutschen die alte Stellung. Wegen Bekenntnis der Synode besonders gegenüber die Generalsynode, dann aber wegen Massregelung Sauers wäre es möglich, dass die Gelder zurückbehalten werden. Noël ist Referent in O. K. Rat [Oberkirchenrat?], der ist zufrieden mit der von den Beamten gegebenen, nit protokollierten Antwort von 1862, wie auch Bading in seiner Eröffnungsrede 1863 sich ausgesprochen. Nicht Exklusivität, sondern friedlichen Luthertum. Giese soll aus Seminar, Moldehnke in die Reisepredigt.

(3000 y are collected and invested. Regarding the seminar stays with d. Germans the old position. Because of the synod's commitment, especially to the general synod, but then because of Sauer's reprimand, it would be possible for the funds to be withheld. Noël is a consultant in the OK Council [Oberkirchenrat?], who is satisfied with the response given by the officials in 1862, which was not recorded, as Bading also expressed in his opening speech in 1863. Not exclusivity, but peaceful Lutheranism. Giese is to leave the seminar, Moldehnke to the travel sermon.)
