Judy, look in Durnbaugh's "Brethren in Colonial America," page 603, for the translated-into-English version. That's where I found Gertrude and Magdalena. If you want the German language version as well you will have to look in "The Day Book/Account Book of Alexander Mack, Jr.," Kutztown, Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania German Society, 2004. Neither is online to my knowledge.
