January. 29<hi rend="superscript">th</hi>. 1748. In August the same Year I moved to Lindheim
in Wetteravia to have the Care of the Childrens Oeconomy, where
I had the Pleasure to recieve the first Account to be depended
upon from my dear Husband, by a [?] affectionate Letter
of his own Handwriting. In 1751 Brother Risler came to Marien
born from Petersburg, and brought me by Word of Mouth good Ac
counts of my dear Husband, and offered me to take me along with
him. This Offer I received as out of the Hand of our Savior. And
August 1<hi rend="superscript">st</hi>. I sat out with him and his dear Wife [?] with the Blessing
of Count Zinzendorf and the <hi rend="underline">Brethren</hi> and <hi rend="underline">Sisters</hi>. My four Children I re
comended to the faithful Heart of Jesus and the Congregation, and
my Heart was then so disposed: I know that I am Jesus Pro
perty; of his Flesh and of his Bone, and shall remain his eternally
though I am very poor and wretched. I go with that Mind to my
dear Husband to do that which our Savior would have me to
do, and I shall continue sitting at the Feet of Jesus. The 29<hi rend="superscript">th</hi>.
the same Month we arrived at Petersburg. But I had to keep
myself at first very still in Brother Koehlers House, till he had
procured Leave for me to come to Petersburg. Besides this I
grew so sick, that I could not think otherwise, but that I should
depart this Life without having seen my Husband. Add to this
that I could not even let my Husband know anything of my
Trouble, because whatever I wrote to him I had to regulate
so that all might read it, because Leave for my Journey to
Petersburg was not yet procured. This was a very hard [?]
[page break]
for me, and yet but a small one in Comparison of those to come.
I spent my sleepless Nights in Conversation with my only Friend,
wetted my Pillows with Tears; Jesus Perplexities, his merit
orious Tears, and nightly Prayers, were of great Service to me,
they strengthened and comforted me, so that I could child likely
resign myself to him, and believe that if I even should go home
to Him without having seen my Husband, that he however
would be my most faithful and never failing Friend, who knows
