Koehler's Index: 483. 1860, November 30, sent from Platteville by Starck to Muehlhaeuser. Denken Sie an den Westen. Galena. Röll gefällt. Es ist nötig wegen Iowa. Die und die Missourier confessionell, aber schliesslich nicht besser als wir. Rechenberg passt nicht recht wegen des begabten Iowa usw. Ich kann nicht. Freut sich über Dammann, den er aus Brüdergemeindekreisen drüben kennt. Der war auf ein Lehrerseminar bei Thilo der Schwiegersohn des berüchtigten Diesterweg und war der preussischen Gesandten in Rom als Hauslehrer empfohlen. Köhler und die Norden brauchen wirkt alles. Dammann soll an Braun’s Stelle? Und der nach Burlington an Goldammers Stelle? Will nicht von den Iowaern und ihrer pietistischen Kirchenzucht wissen, die mit Salbaderei geschicht. Muehlhaeuser soll sich die Hirten be----- der besonders gegen Iowa gerichtet ist, verschaffen.

(Think of the west. Galena. like Roll. It's necessary because of Iowa. They and the Missourians confessional, but ultimately no better than us. Rechenberg doesn't quite fit because of gifted Iowa etc. I can't. Happy about Dammann, whom he knows from the Brethren congregations over there. He was the son-in-law of the notorious Diesterweg at a teacher's seminar with Thilo and was recommended to the Prussian envoy in Rome as a private tutor. Köhler and the north need everything. Dammann should take Braun's place? And the one after Burlington in Goldammer's place? Don't want to know about the Iowans and their pietistic church discipline, which deals with taunting. Muehlhaeuser is supposed to get the shepherds be----- which is especially aimed at Iowa.)
