On the 4th of August, George Schulius died, after an illness of eighteen
days' duration. Boehler was in Savannah when he was taken sick, but
returned in time to nurse him, to soothe him in delirium, and to lay him
to rest amid the lamentations of the Purisburg residents. At his death
the school for white children was given up, for Boehler was too weak to
shoulder the additional load, and felt that his first duty was to
the <DW64>s. In September, Oglethorpe was in Savannah, and after much
difficulty Boehler obtained speech with him, and succeeded in convincing
him that a <DW64> school at Purisburg was hopeless. He approved of
Boehler's plan to itinerate among the plantations and promised that
both his own and Schulius' salaries should be paid him, that he might
be supplied for traveling expenses. In November, when his health was
restored, Boehler wished to make his first journey, but the storekeeper
declined to pay him any money until the expiration of the quarter year.
When he went again at the appointed time the storekeeper refused to pay
anything without a new order from Oglethorpe, except the remainder of
the first year's salary, now long overdue. Boehler concluded that the
man had received private instructions from Oglethorpe, and that
his services were no longer desired by the representative of "the
associates", so in January, 1740, he gave up further thought of
obligation to them, and prepared to go on his own account. He planned
to go by boat to Purisburg and from there on foot through Carolina
to Charlestown, but on the way up the Savannah River the canoe was
overtaken by a severe thunderstorm, and forced to land. Knowing that a
sloop would sail in two days he returned to Savannah, meaning to go to
Charlestown on her, but on trying the lot he received direction to wait
for the present in Savannah.

While Boehler was making his attempt among the <DW64>s, some changes
were taking place in the Savannah Congregation. He had been very much
