the Name of the Ambassador of Saxony. Having now rested here a
little after so many sleepless Nights, Dangers, Troubles and Distress, I
sat out from <placename>Petersburg</placename> by Water, with my little Daughter, whom I had
preserved as a particular Gift with all possible Care and Faithfulness,
accompanied by <persname>Brother Kryman</persname>, <date>May 18th. 1761</date>. The taking Leave of the
Brethren and Sisters here was very painful on both Sides. Towards Evening we
set Sail, but we soon got a Storm, which was against us, and a total
Eclipse of the Moon rendered it quite dark, so that we saw nothing
before us but our Destruction, particularly as our Vessel was
too deeply laden, and the <placename>Neva</placename> being in that Place full of Sand Banks.
We returned in great Danger and sailed again the next Day for
<placename>Cronstadt</placename>. Here I had again new Troubles, but our Savior helped
me thro', and we could now pursue our Voyage without any Hindrance.
I now looked once more at the Land of my Troubles with Tears
in my Eyes, and recomended it to the faithful Heart of Jesus.
So as the faithful Eye and Watchman of Israel watched hitherto
over me on my Journies, so I experienced it also on my farther
Travels by Sea and Land. It was as if the Arms of my dear Savior
enclosed me around, especially at <placename>Lüneburg</placename> on the rest of my
Journey. During the Time of our Abode at <placename>Lüneburg</placename> which lasted 10 Days
there were every Day such violent Storms of Thunder and Lightning as no
body remembered ever to have seen, but when we sat out the Weather
was fair and pleasant. And tho' that whole District was then sur
rounded with War, we saw nothing of it, and arrived at last <date>July 5</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date>.</date>
safe and well at <placename>Herrnhut</placename> to our inexpressible Joy. Ah! what Tears of Joy
[page break]
and Thankfulness trickled down my Cheeks that my faithful Savior
brought both me and my Child to the Congregation. I devoted it, and myself
anew to Him as his "Property." Thus far her own Relation.
Her Heart was filled with Thanks and Praise, that our Savior had
accomplished her ardent Desire to be again in the Congregation at <placename>Herrn
hut</placename>, so that she now would enjoy a happy Sabbath in the Congregation,
and with her Children. <date>July 21</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>st</date></hi>. she moved into the Widows House
and was made Use of as an Assistant, till <date>1764</date> when she moved to
<placename>Marienborn</placename>, and <date>1766</date> to <placename>Zeyst</placename> with the then Directory. In <date>1768</date>
she went to <placename>England</placename> with <persname>Brother</persname> & <persname>Sister Boeler </persname>and <persname>Count Dohnas</persname>, and the Year
following again to <placename>Herrnhut</placename>. In <date>1770</date> she got a Call to go with <persname>Brother</persname>
and <persname>Sister de Treyden </persname>to <placename>Curland</placename>, and though she found it hard to leave
<placename>Herrnhut</placename>, she however accepted it with a willing Heart. <persname>Sister de
Treyden </persname>gives the following Account of the Abode and Service of
our late Sister with them: We were very thankful to our Savior
that he would give us this, through many heavy Trials approved
of Hand Maid of his to go along with us; both to be a Partaker
of our Joy and of the Troubles which befel us. She assisted us
faithfully with good Advice and actual Help, and proved parti
