me to Herrnhuth & I came & got Leave to abide
there.        So far his own Words.
Some Weeks after his Arrival the Brethren sent him to
Fr. de Shweiniz to instruct his two Lady Daughters
(Our S.rs Lorel Luedcke & Lizel Marshall) which he
did wth all possible love & according to his extraordinary
Genius; Thereby he had a happy Time for his own Heart,
but allways  always was sorry that he was so soon taken away
from the Care of the Congregation.
Ao 1736. He arrived at Herrnhuth again & 1737 the
19th of Octob. he was confirmed according to the Custom
of the same Time into the Congregat..n Soon after he
