Summary:
Johann, now calling himself John, writes to discuss the health of this wife and children, Georg Johann, Ida Helle, Emma Katrina, Lille Louise, Zilla Allvina, Ruben Arohn, and Wille Friedrich. He mentions that their brother Peter is not in the best of health, and asks if Christian would like to visit St. Paul to see the Ice Palace. He refers to a preacher named Niess who is from Wisconsin and who claims to know Christian well. He also mentions August Hülster again.
