May 15.
Michael Hauser and Schouss and their families moved from the fort into little cabins by the mill. On the 17th the elderly Faber and his wife, who on account of the Indian troubles have been with us ever since last year, moved to their son-in-law, John Muller, taking leave with many expressions of thanks. On the 26th the elder Hauser and his wife moved from the fort to the mill cabins.

Dec. 25. At the Christmas Day service, Br. Ettwein sang a hymn, "Rejoice, O Christian Congregation", read the Gospel and the Epistle for the day, preached on the love and grace of God made manifest in that our Creator became man to save us from evil and to bless us. Then Br. Roger led the English liturgy for the first time, and baptised little Susanna Schouss and Michael Hauser's little son, Michael. both children of our neighbors. English preaching followed, and in both these services our guests were much effected. In the afternoon we worshipped the Christ-child as the spotsless Lamb of God; and our Christmas joy was increased when Sr. Anna Loesch gave birth to a little son, who before supper, in a meeting of communicants, who all acted as sponsors, was baptised into the death of Jesus by Br. Ettwein and received the name Johan Christian. The evening blessing closed the day, during which the precious presence of the Christ-child was felt in our hearts and also our friends, of whom about 20 worshipped with us.

Nov 2. Today we hear that the North Carolina Fort is to be well prepared for defense against the Cherokees, and that our neighbors have been notified by their Captains to hold themselves in readiness, for in case of need every third man must march.
Nov. 4. It was decided some days ago that Br. Jacob Loesch needed help in his office as Vorsteher; so today a "Committee for Outward Affairs" was organized in Bethabara.
Nov. 5. An elderley man named Racher was buried in the graveyard near the mill.
Nov. 7.
Michael Hauser and his family moved to Bethania,
Nov. 8. Several of our sick members are now free of fever, and are improving. There is much of the fever which we have had throughout North Carolina and Virginia, and may have died.
Nov. 12. It was decided.....
Nov. 16. The Militia have been ordered to Salisbury, where lots will be drawn to see who is form the army against the Cherokees. Georg Hauser, who has built a house in Bethania but has not yet moved into it, came to us in great concern to ask advice. We think that who live in Wachovia are not affected by the order, since Br. Jacob Loesch, as Captian of our fort, holds his commission directly from the Governor.
