Koehler's Index: 557. 1861, October 4, sent from Fond du Lac by Böhner to Bading. Weiss noch nicht ob er nach Lebanon gehen soll. Muss erst von sein Frau hören, die nicht Kühe und Schweine besorgen kann, sowenig wie er selber. Muss auch erst über Wetzel näheres erfahren. Zu Fond du Lac wird nie etwas. Alles Lumpengesindel Deutschlands scheint da zusammengekommen zu sein. Er hat seinen ganzen Gehalt seit November, 1860, in Kleider gesteckt ($70.00).

(Don't know yet if he should go to Lebanon. Must first hear from his wife, who cannot take care of cows and pigs any more than he can. Must first find out more about Wetzel. Nothing ever becomes Fond du Lac. All the scoundrels of Germany seem to have gathered there. He has put his entire salary into clothes since November, 1860 ($70.00).)
