LETTER to Trustees FROM THE REVEREND MR. FREDERICK MICHAEL ZIEGENHAGEN
LETTER FROM THE REVEREND MR. FREDERICK MICHAEL ZIEGENHAGEN
Included with 1740-11-10 A State of the Province of Georgia
The Copy of a Letter from the Reverend Mr. Frederick Michael Ziegenhagen, German
Chaplain to his Majesty, dated at Kensington, January 11, 1741-2, and sent to the
Trustees for Establishing the Colony of Georgia in America.
Gentlemen,
HAVING seen Paragraphs in Print representing the Saltzburghers as being uneasy with
their Settlement at Ebenezer in Georgia, and desirous to remove therefrom; and fearing
such Reports (if credited) might give just Offence to your Honors their Guardians, as well
as to their Benefactors in Germany, and thereby deprive them from having yours, and their
Favors continued.
I thought it my indispensible Duty to acquaint your Honors, That by all the Letters and
Journals I have received since their Settlement at New Ebenezer, they have express'd
quite different Sentiments; and not to trouble you with many Particulars, I beg Leave
herewith to inclose you two Extracts of the latest Accounts I received from them in
November last.
