Koehler's Index: 1225. 1865, September 2, sent from La Cross by Starck to Streissguth. Zuchtlose Gemeinde. Meumann wollen sie nicht als Faulpelz, Bachmann aus Halle nicht, weil er Möllers Geschichte von drüben kennt, Opitz war ein Schulmeister. Köhler würde sich in zwei Jahren aufreiben.

(An unruly community. They do not want Meumann, regarding him as a slacker; nor Bachmann from Halle, because he knows Möller’s history from the other side; Opitz was merely a schoolmaster. Köhler would burn himself out within two years.)
