Koehler's Index: 168. 1857, October 2, sent from Oshkosh by G. Fachtmann to Muehlhaeuser. Macht eine Reise von Milwaukee nach Port Washington, wo Stecher (Missorian in Sheboygan) nach Starcks Weggang gepredigt. In Sheboygan von Stecher freundlich aufgenommen und nach dessen Gemeinde in Plymouth gefahren. In Sheboygan 2 Lehrer und 150 Schüler. In Calumet Streit über Sauer und Bading. Farmer Rathe, Führer der freisinnigen Farmer. Aber günstige Aussicht, nur die alte Streitsache ausser Spiel lassen und mal Schmach tragen (Bading). Zu Chilton viel Gelegenheit. New Holstein hat hochgebildeter deutscher Volk (150 Familien lutherisch und im ganzen 1000 Deutsche). Ein Katholik Plachez, Praeses der lutherischen Gemeinde hat das meiste kirchliche Interesse. Fachtmann soll bleiben, geht nicht an, aber verspricht Rat und Hilfe. Fond du Lac, Redriver, Wolfriver, Menasha, Neenah, Hardeeville, Berlin. Viel unversorgte Volke und Predigernot.

Fachtmann should stay, does not work, but promises advice and help. Fond du Lac, Redriver, Wolfriver, Menasha, Neenah, Hardeeville, Berlin. A lot of uncared for people and preachers' distress.)
