Oglethorpe leaves Savannah in bitternessedit

From 1741 A True and Historical Narrative edited by Amy On the 4th of November Mr. Oglethorpe departed from Savannah, and he now seems to have intirely forgot it. It is certain that ever since the Affair of the Representation, according to his own Words, the very Name of the Place is become hateful to him, as are all those who he thought were Ring-Leaders in that Affair. He tried to threaten and bribe some of them to a Recantation, but to little Purpose. Two or three were the most (to the best of our Knowledge) he could gain, and even those, we believe, never signed anything.
