<date>January. 29</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date>. 1748</date>. In <date>August the same Year</date> I moved to <placename>Lindheim</placename>
in <placename>Wetteravia</placename> 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 most affectionate Letter
of his own Handwriting. In <date>1751</date> <persname>Brother Risler</persname> came to <placename>Marien</placename>
<placename>born</placename> from <placename>Petersburg</placename>, 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
<date>August 1</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>st</date></hi>. I sat out with him and his dear Wife <unclear>Mither</unclear> with the Blessing
of <persname>Count Zinzendorf </persname>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 <date>29</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date>. </date>
<date>the same Month</date> we arrived at <placename>Petersburg</placename>. But I had to keep
myself at first very still in <persname>Brother Koehlers</persname> House, till he had
procured Leave for me to come to <placename>Petersburg</placename>. 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
<placename>Petersburg</placename> was not yet procured. This was a very hard Trial
[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 <unclear>child</unclear> 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
best for what Reason he has brought me hither. <persname>Brother and Sir Risler</persname>
and <persname>Ferbers</persname> visited me as often as possible, and refreshed my
needy Soul, which I shall acknowledge with Gratitude as long as
I live. I however recovered again and <date>September 8</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi>. |:<date>1751</date>:| being our
Wedding Day, <persname>Brother Koehler</persname> made me the Pleasure and led me in
cognito with his Family to the Brethren in Prison. This
was indeed a great Joy to see each other again after so long a
Time. In <date>October 1751</date> I obtained at last Leave to move to my
dear Husband, to whom Leave was granted to move with the
<persname>Brethren Helderhof and Frilshe</persname> |:<persname>Gudslef</persname> was already gone to our Savior:|
into the hired House of <persname>Sir Helderhof</persname>. This was a great Refresh
ment for my sick and weary Heart. But even this could not come
to pass without Trouble, for there came soon Counter Order
that I should not yet move to my Husband, and I had to live 6
Days with <persname>Brother and Sir Risler</persname> in a private Manner. However we
had afterwards the Pleasure to live together for some Time,
which was effected by the inexpressible Pain <persname>Brother Koehler</persname> took, who
for our sake had to put up with much Vexation and Reproach.
