reatly that day and night he stayed in his room "as in
a prison", but he was still more afraid to face Gen. Oglethorpe, who, it
was said, would soon return. Only once had he joined in the devotional
exercises of the household after his return from Frederica, and it was
rather a relief when he left for home, having first repaid the amount
of his passage to Georgia. He seems to have retained his connection with
the Moravian Church, for he was in Herrnhut when Wesley visited there,
and showed him many courtesies; and he is mentioned in 1742, as bearing
letters to the "Sea Congregation", then about to sail for Pennsylvania.

On the 6th of June a four-year-old English boy had been taken into their
household. He was an orphan, and they meant to bring him up, but the
little fellow died on the 23rd of July.

On the 10th of June the matrimonial troubles of George Waschke and
Juliana Jaeschke had been happily terminated by their marriage. Waschke
had been one of the discontents ever since the arrival of the second
company, but when his marriage was finally arranged he professed himself
contrite, and promised all obedience to the rules of the "Society", so
long as he stayed in Savannah, though he retained his desire to leave
as soon as possible. Juliana also had greatly improved in her behaviour
before the wedding.

This marriage was the cause of a very interesting discussion among the
Moravians, as to who should perform the ceremony. "In the afternoon
the Brethren met to decide who should be appointed to marry Waschke
and Juliana. Properly Br. Peter (Rose) should have been ordained by Br.
Anton (Seifert) to the office of a "Diener" in the Congregation, that he
might marry and baptize, but the Brethren did not think it necessary to
ordain him on Waschke's account, and voted that Toeltschig should marry
them. He objected, but they said Toeltschig had been made a 'Diener' of
the Congregation at Herrnhut. He protested that he had not been sent
to Georgia to marry and baptize, and did not wish to do it. The others
insisted, and asked that the lot be tried; Toeltschig agreed to submit
to their wish, and the lot drawn read 'he shall marry these two'," which
he did the next day.

Parallel with this is the baptism of Rose's twin daughters, Anna
Catherina and Maria Magdalena, who were born on the 16th of September,
1737,--Anna Catherina dying later in the same year. Of this Toeltschig
wrote: "I, at the request of the Brethren, baptized
