Serbin, Texas, 17 June 1874
Mssrs. Schaefer and Koradi, Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Esquires,
Enclosed are Five Dollars in currency for the copy of Daheim which I have in hand.
Also I point out that during this year our State Legislature created a new county in our region in which I live by the name of Lee County. On 2 June
Giddings, the new town on the Houston-Austin railroad, 5 to 6 miles from our residence, was voted the county seat with a large majority. The post
office of Serbin remains. My address is now Rev. J. Kilian, Serbin, Lee County, Texas.
Therewith I remain yours faithfully,
Johann Kilian, P.
