Koehler's Index: 505. 1861, February 25, sent from Platteville by Starck to Bading. Starck hat in Galena die Iowa Gemeinde Klindworths besucht. Die wollen sich trennen wegen Buffaloischen Pastorenrecht nach gesetzlichen Form der Kirchenzucht. Logenfrage, in der Klindworth recht steht, vielleicht in der Praxis zu gesetzlich.

( Starck visited the Iowa community of Klindworths in Galena. They want to separate because of the Buffalo pastoral law according to the legal form of church discipline. Lodge question, on which Klindworth is right, perhaps too legal in practice.)
