Acknowledgments This project would not have been possible without the professional assistance provided by Olaf Nippe at the Unitätsarchiv der Evangelischen Brüder-Unität in Herrnhut, Germany, and by Lanie Graf at the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. During an earlier trip to Bethlehem, Karl benefited from the help of Rev. Vernon Nelson, Dr. Albert Frank, and Dr. Tom Minor, the director of the Reeves Library of the Moravian College. We are grateful for their work and are delighted to recognize their support. Several people helped Karl during his time in Mosquitia in the 1990s to better understand Miskito-Moravian relations, and each has in some way contributed to the introduction and annotation of the texts contained herein. At the risk of forgetting many people, Karl wishes to thank Rev. Santos Cleban, Ana Rosa Fagoth, Miriam and Rev. Evenor Fredrick, Alicio Gómez, Ronas Dolores Green, Morgan Johnny, Jorge Matamoros, Melba McLean, Cecil Monroe, and Fidel Wilson.
