On Christmas Eve 1865 he wrote to his corps:

“In Mecklenburg the ground burned under my feet. The disgraceful economy that rules there has incited me to the most energetic opposition. But my activity could not remain hidden from the nefarious sniffers. Several of my writings were banned, charged, and convicted. I felt more insecure day by day. Then I seized the opportunity to emigrate and took the job that I now hold. "
