Koehler's Index: 499. 1861, ?, sent from Milwaukee by Muehlhaeuser and Streissguth to Meyeringh, etc., in Langenberg. Antwort auf dessen Brief von 16 November 1860. Aufschluss über Gemeinde und Synodalverhältnisse in der staatsfreien Kirche Amerikas. Rat bezüglich Meumanns, Lessings und Moldehnkes. Bei Lessing Abweisung der Äusserungen Weitbrechts der seine Zeit in Sheboygan gestanden. Ein freier, manchmal launiger Ton Streissguths. Er freut sich über der deutsche Hilfe, ist vorsichtig im Geben von Garantien, dämpft des übersprudeluden Enthusiasmus, munter aber auf unter Berufung auf Gottes Gnade.

( Answer to his letter of November 16, 1860. Information about the congregation and synodal relationships in the state-free church in America. Advice on Meumanns, Lessings and Moldehnkes. When Lessing dismissed the statements by Weitbrecht, who confessed to his time in Sheboygan. A free, sometimes moody tone of Streissguth. He rejoices in the German aid, is cautious in giving guarantees, dampens overflowing enthusiasm, but cheerfully appeals to God's mercy. )
