Koehler's Index: 761. 1863, October 23, sent from Berlin by Eichler to Bading. Chrischona Kurwurthings. Bittschrift an Kurprinz und König werden nichts nützen. Thiele aus Bromberg will hinüber, aber Eichler verspricht sich nicht viel von ihm. Dorner denkt an Kähler für zweiten Lehrer am Seminar. Vor allem aber entschiedene Forderung, dass den zanksüchtigen Treiben des Konfessions, wahrscheinlich Meumann (da s. “Abers” unlauter) und des guten Köhler ein Ende gemacht wird. Bading steht recht, der auch Reformierten zum Abendmahl zulassen. Selbst Harms will davon nichts wissen. Das deutsche Konralst hat auch.

(Chrischona Kurwurthings. Petitions to the electoral prince and king will be of no use. Thiele from Bromberg wants to go over, but Eichler doesn't expect much from him. Dorner thinks of Kähler for second teacher at the seminary. Above all, however, a decisive demand that the bickering doings of the denomination, probably Meumann (since s. “Abers” is unfair) and the good Köhler, be put to an end. Bading is right, who also admit Reformed to communion. Even Harms doesn't want to hear about it. The German Konralst also has.)
