On the 1st of March, John and Charles Wesley called on them, and on
the 6th, Charles Wesley came again, and "opened his heart" to them.
The Diary calls him "an awakened but flighty man," who had come as Gov.
Oglethorpe's secretary, and was now about to go to Frederica as pastor
of that turbulent flock. From him Spangenberg learned of Oglethorpe's
return from Altamaha, and accompanied by Nitschmann went with him to
the ship, where the Wesleys were still living. Two days were spent with
Oglethorpe, who promised to give them ground containing a good bed of
clay, where they could make brick, which should be sold to the Trustees'
agent at 15 shillings per 1,000, two-thirds of the price to be applied
on their debt, and one-third to be paid them in cash. Moreover several
English boys should be apprenticed to them to learn the trade. Hemp
and flax seed should also be given them, and he urged them to weave the

Wesley wished to select a site for a small house, which Oglethorpe had
promised to build for him, where he and his companions might live while
they were studying the Indian language, under Mrs. Musgrove's direction.
Nitschmann wanted to visit and talk with the Indian "King", Tomochichi,
and Dober was trying to find some clay suitable for pottery. The
following day they returned to Savannah, and Mr. Wesley and Mr.
Delamotte took up their abode with the Moravians, as Mr. Quincy,
Wesley's predecessor in the Savannah pastorate, had not yet vacated
his house. Wesley writes, "We had now an opportunity, day by day, of
observing their whole behaviour. For we were in one room with them from
morning to night, unless for the little time I spent in walking. They
were always employed, always cheerful themselves, and in good humor with
one another; they had put away all anger, and strife, and wrath, and
bitterness, and clamor, and evil speaking; they walked w
