Poul Elias Wintmöhl Schlegel, who was a surgeon to the garrison in Christiansted, had together with Captain Harder on the vessel “Prinds Carl” sent a live turtle to Schønberg. In the letter he writes, that he hopes the delicacy will please the recipient and his guests. He further gives a lively description of mutual acquaintances on St. Croix, one being General Scholten who had travelled to America to care for his illnesses.
