Koehler's Index: 859. 1864, March 29, sent from Oshkosh by Waldt to Reim. Streit in Menasha, der ihn und sein Leute nach Neenah vertrieb. Ein Missourier Jesuit wollte sich der wüsten Rotte annehmen, wurde aber durch einen verständigen Vorsteher in Gegenwart der Anstifter zu Rückzug bewogen. Dennoch schrieb der Missourier eine groben Brief und nannte Waldt Rottierer. Reim soll einen spitzen Brief schreiben gegen die rohe Masse und einen gegen den Missourier. Waldt will diese dann kopieren und an der rechte Adresse befördern.

(Strife in Menasha that drove him and his people to Neenah. A Missourian Jesuit wanted to take care of the wild gang, but was persuaded to retreat by a sensible leader in the presence of the instigators. Nevertheless, the Missourian wrote a rough letter, naming Waldt Rottier. Reim should write a pointed letter against the rude crowd and one against the Missourian. Waldt then wants to copy them and send them to the right address.)
