Since the promised detailed report had not arrived till today, we share with you, in the meantime, dear reader of Der Lutheraner, a letter from the Rev. Proft with the following painful news: “Our dear Pastor Pallmer died from fever on September 1 at 11:00 o’clock in the morning. Rev. Kilian also was suffering from the fever, but is now on the way to recovery. Therefore, even though I myself was sick, took care of the burial.”

Da der verheisene ausfuerlichere Bericht bis heute angetroffen ist, so theilen wir lieben Lutheranerlesern erstweilen aus einen Brief des Herrn Pastor Proft folgende schmertzliche Nachricht mit: “Unser lieber Pastor Pallmer ist am 1 September Vormittags 11Uhr am Fieber gestorben. Herr Pastor Kilian leidet auch am Fieber, ist jedoch auf den Weg der Besserung. Deshalb habe ich, obgleich selbst krank, die Beerdigung besorgt”
