God schenk hem moed en getrouwheid, en ons all in deze dubbele slag troost en gezondheid. Doch te Leeuwarden gekomen werd hun gezegd om morgen direct naar Zwolle te vertrekken, te welke gevolge zij heden avond weder terug kwamen. 21. Heden morgen zijn onze broeder enz. weder vertrokken naar het Heerenven bij de anderen, reeds gister daar gekomen."

Dus in deze maand 12 stuks in ons Dorp, met allen het zelfde perzoneel van taxateurs, veearts enz. De Goede Vader in den Hemel beware ons en elk voor deze schrikkelijke geezel."

    "... Doch ik [Lieuwe Jans de Jong] geloof dat er veel naamlongzieken zijn in het getal, wekelijksch gepubliceerd in de courant, want hoe is het in ons Dorp? Zie 13 Februarius H.H. Hofstra, 18 Julij K.U. Westerterp, 23 Augustus K.F. de Jong. En dan voorjaar 1850 en nu 1851 Augustus te Akkrum. Nu is zij uit ons Dorp weg. Dat zij ook niet wederkeere!"
