His wife remained in Savannah, it being uncertain whether he would
stay in Germany or return to America. John Regnier took his place
as financial agent of the Moravians.
On March 12th, Toeltschig went aboard a ship, bound for Charlestown,
sailing from Tybee two days later. On the 18th, he reached Charlestown,
whence he sailed April 1st, bearing with him the record of their account
with the Trustees, and commissioned to tell the authorities at Herrnhut
all about the Georgia colony. On the 30th of May, the vessel touched
at Cowes, where Toeltschig landed, making his way overland to London
which he reached on the 2nd of June.
On the 11th of June, Toeltschig, accompanied by Richter,
went to present the account to the Trustees. They asked him
many questions concerning Georgia, all of which he answered frankly,
receiving most courteous attention. Three days later
a settlement was reached. The written accounts showed that the Moravians
were short 3 Pounds 5 Shillings 5 Pence, which Toeltschig offered
to pay in cash, but the Trustees said they realized
that the supplies provided for in the second bond had been rated
at a higher price in Georgia than in England, and they were content
to consider the obligations as fully discharged, interest included.
