got Leave to go abroad & to visit the Brn & Sisters
freely. We got acquainted with a Princely Russian
Family to their Blessing. I instructed daily for some
Hours a certain Secretary's Son of Sixteen years old
in the Languages & other Sciences from new year
1752 and had the Care in my Room over Br Roehlers
Cousin and his adopted Son Frederich Shure which
Br Helterhof together with the Chancelors Chirurgeon's
Jenner's Son instructed. The 3d of October our dear
Saviour blessd our Br & Sr Kriegelstein with a
young Daughter, which our dear Minister Butzow
baptized with the Name Johanna Christina
I and the Sister Helterhofs & Ferbers was GodFather
& God-Mother. Our dear Secretary visited us,
He was taken sick, I and Br Kriegelstein went
to see him, and serv'd him not only with Medi
cines, but told him also the whole Council of God of his
Salvation before he departed and his present
Father Confessor (Confessionarius) affirm'd it.
Another Pope, who was our Patient, departed this
Life also Happy and believing in Faith on our Saviour.
He shewed us, so oft as we came to see him, a
great deal of Love and regard. In the year 1754

When the Minister Trefurt kept the Lord Supper with us
we had Leave to go to our Sister Krugelstein's House,
The new Secretary visited us also, assur'd our Innocency
and at the same Time his Love to us. When Br Risler
return'd in the year 1756 from the Congregation, oh how
did that what he told us himself and what he brought us
in Writings along, strengthen our weak Heart & feeble Mind. Likewise
the dear Br Grumberg who came with him was a noble
