Meanwhile he would do
what he could to quiet the people's dissatisfaction with them.
As their debt to the Trustees was not yet fully paid,
Causton's refusal bound them in Savannah for the time being,
according to their bond, so they had to turn elsewhere for help.
Early in February, they had heard of Spangenberg's return to Pennsylvania
from his visit to St. Thomas, and had written to ask him to come
and help them for a while, but being busy with other things he did not go.
On the 5th of March, Ingham suggested that he and one of their number
should go to England to the Trustees. They thought it over
and decided that George Neisser should go with him as far as Pennsylvania,
where the case should be laid before Spangenberg, with the request
that he go to London, arrange matters with the Trustees, and get permission
for them to leave Georgia. Ingham was going, with the approval
of Wesley and Delamotte, to try and bring over some of their friends
to help in the work of evangelizing the Province.
A ship was ready to sail for Pennsylvania on the 9th,
so Ingham and Neisser took passage on her, and sailed, as the event proved,
never to return.
