Koehler's Index: 804. 1863, December 30, sent from Milwaukee by Muehlhaeuser to Bading. Wenn wir stricht lutherisch sein wollen, dann sollen wir die unierten Gemeinden wageschoren sein lassen. Aus der unierten Kreisen sind wir hervorgegangen. Die haben uns geholfen, wir können auf den Rat des Oberkirchenrat eingehen. Wer strickter sein will kann nach Missouri gehen, oder denen die Stange halten.

(If we want to be strictly Lutheran, then we should let the Uniate congregations be sworn. We emerged from the Uniate circles. They helped us, we can respond to the advice of the Oberkirchenrat. If you want to be more knit, you can go to Missouri, or stick with them.)
