Nitschmann. Feb. 22nd.
(In the afternoon we reached Savannah, where we were lodged in the house
which the Brethren who came a year ago have built in the town.
The Lord has done all things well, and has turned to our good
all that has befallen us, even when we did not understand His way,
and has laid His blessing upon our journey, -- thanks be unto Him.

Organization.
The arrival of the "second company" was a marked event
in the eyes of the Moravians already settled at Savannah.
Hitherto all had been preparation, and labor had seemed less arduous
and privations less severe because they were smoothing the path
for those who were to follow, and it was with well-earned satisfaction
that wives and friends were lodged in the new house,
taken to the garden and the farm, and introduced to acquaintances in the town.
