Br. Teichelmann told me that Julius Fiedler, who was with him today, told him that Lange(169) and all Germans had given up all respect for me because one evening I demanded wine from Mr. Meyer and sang drinking songs. Julius Fiedler wants ( 178 ) to speak out against old Mr. Fiedler in the community because the latter does not save the honor of his blessed wife, who was accused of first inciting Kavel to commit adultery.

In the morning Mr. Fiedler came to me, who still has his unchanged opinion against Pastor Kavel.

Yammaruwe stayed here today due to unfavorable weather.

November 22nd, 1839.
Yammaruwe left today. Today I brought a short answer to the letter from Pastor Kavel received on the 19th of this month to Klemzig.

Today I received a letter from Brother Adam, written on February 17th, 1839. In the evening my friend Kook came to me, who wanted to go to Klemzig, but at my persuasion he spent the night with me. He admitted that I was right about Friedrich Kavel, but said that I had written too strongly. But Mr. Meyer supported me.

I went to Klemzig today to find out what Mr. Fiedler wanted to have said to Kavel. He had stuck to the old speech. his conscience wouldn't allow it; I would have written to him so violently that even Mr. Kook would have found it too strong; My bride should be reminded that one day I might come many miles from here, perhaps even out of the country, and so on. By the way, today Mr. Fiedler gave me the key to explaining all of Kavel's behavior towards us so far. Namely, Mr. Angas wanted us, me and Br. Teichelmann, to be under ( 179 ) his supervision, this was also agreed with Pastor Wermelskirch during his visit to England, and yet not a syllable of this was mentioned in our instruction with which he (Pastor Kavel) was dismissed from our company. That's why Pastor Kavel doesn't want to have anything to do with the mission and so on.

Pastor Kavel also said that there might be more objections, namely from Julius Fiedler. --

I asked Bertha whether she would promise this if Pastor Kavel insisted that she give up her relationship with me? She couldn't do that, was her answer.
