      • Description : Farewell letter from Count Zinzendorf of Hernnhut written to the slaves of St. Thomas at the end of his three-week visit to St. Thomas in 1739. It is most likely that one of the white people on St. Thomas (perhaps Carstens, with whom ZInzendorf stayed during his visit) wrote the letter for Count Zinzendorf (who may have dictated the letter) in the Creole language (Stein 1986). It was published in the Büdingische Sammlung (1742, vol. I, p.453-457), a collection of writings from Zinzendorf and from the community of the Moravian Brethren (Stein 1986).

He received religious refugees from Moravia and ceded to them a part of his territory, on which in 1722 the town of Herrnhut was founded, the centre of the community of the Moravian Brethren (Stein 1986). The first mission of the Moravian Brethren to convert heathen to christianism was to St. Thomas, main island of the Virgin Islands, and started in 1732. In 1739 Zinzendorf visited
