funds for the English school, and to accompany later companies
of Georgia colonists as far as London, his expenses to be paid by the
Trustees. Of this the Trustees approved, and donated 40 Pounds sterling,
partly for Nitschmann's use in London, and the balance,--about 4 Pounds
it proved to be,--for the Herrnhut school. An English gentleman also
gave them 32 Pounds, with the proviso that within four years they in
turn would give an equal amount to the needy, which Nitschmann readily
agreed should be done.

Various other gifts must have been received, for when the company
sailed, Nitschmann reported to Count Zinzendorf that, without counting a
considerable amount which Korte had generously expended on their behalf,
they had received 115 Pounds in London, and had spent 113 Pounds. "This
will seem much to you, but when you look over the accounts, and consider
the number of people, and how dear everything is, you will understand."
Unfortunately the colonists had left Herrnhut without a sufficient
quantity of warm clothing, thinking that it would not be needed, but
letters from Georgia gave them quite new ideas of the climate there, and
they were forced to supply themselves in London, though at double what
it would have cost in Germany.

In addition to these expenditures, the second company borrowed from the
Trustees the funds for their passage to Georgia, and a year's provision
there, binding themselves jointly and severally to repay the money, the
bond, dated Oct. 26th, 1735, being for the sum of 453 Pounds 7 Shillings
6 Pence, double the amount of the actual debt. This included

Passage for 16 men, 8 women and 1 boy,
25 persons, 24-1/2 "heads". Pounds 122: 10: 0
25 sets of bed-clothes. 6: 5: 0
1 year's provisions in Georgia,
being 12 bushels Indian Corn,
100 lbs. Meat, 30 lbs. Butter,
1 bushel Salt, 27 lbs. Cheese,
per head. 64: 6: 3
Advanced in London for necessaries. 33: 12: 6
----------------- Pounds 226: 13: 9

This was to be repaid in five years, drawing eight per cent. interest
after three years, further security to be given within twelve months if
requested by the Trustees or their Agent; and any provisions not used to
be credited on their account.
