Walleiser was also acquainted with Theodor Fontane , who wrote about Walleiser in a letter of June 25, 1880 to his daughter: “I [...] had only pleasant impressions. His fate, his character, his education and manners - everything captivated me. He seems to belong to an artistically and literarily amateurish family, which is always an asset and a recommendation [...] Captain Walleiser told me [...] a lot about [...] John Redcliffe [...] in his Kurhaus to Warmbrunn he lived year and day. "

Karl Walleiser also wrote under the pseudonym Alfred Tonse.
