But his Intimacy wth. Mr. Bolzius, Mr. Gronau & other Lutherans of their Church, as well as wth. some Religious People of ye: Trusts: Servants (Calvinists) he havs: learn'd the German language) But more especially his conversing wth: ye Family at ye: Orphan Hº -- hath given great Offence to some, who esteem none to be true members of ye Church, but such, who either, never frequent any Place for Religious Worship, Or Distin- guish themselves, by an Outery, of the Church being in Danger, while they themselves, practice & Run into all Excesses of Profaness & Imoral- ity.

Mr .. Beaufain wth. Mrs .. Mountaigut in 1739 came to me at the Stores, & then threatned to complain of me to ye: Trust: & to ye: General, for presuming to buy Corn when they had Corn . to Sell- I had then bot : a Quantity of Corn at 14ª: Bush1 ..- when they demanded 20. Bushel for theirs- Mr. Beaufain, and Capt: Mackay, since that time, have, on sundry Oceas- ions, desired my advice & Assistance, wch : I gave them wth: ye: greatest readiness, But never de- manded (or so much as hinted to me, that they expected I shod. pay) this Debt of Cap': Davis, or any Sum of money whatever due to them-
I shall give you the best acco: I can, of that Transaction whereon this Complaint is founded.
In July 1739 Gen1 .. Oglethorpe sent unto me his Bills Excha. for £100- wch : sum he order'd me to Pay unto Caleb Davis, & to take Davis's Promisory Note for Repaymt .. w.ch .. I did accord- ingly- In October following, Capt. Davis his sloop arriv'd from the West India Islands laden with: Mollossos & sugar- The Gen1.
