HANDLINGAR TILL GEORGE SCOTTS VERKSAMHET I SVERIGE I 6 7
May the Lord keep my understanding sound — my heart meek —
full of love — my soul humble, trusting in His will. Think of my
request one evening you sat at the chimney. You in Sweden — I
would never have wished to live otherwhere. You not more there —
I long to follow you. Could I not in any wise be to a service for
the education of your own children. For the English tongue,
practising it more — perhaps I should once be quite home in it. —
O Sir! — let me have a hope — you will help me from a place,
where you should no more have to labour — thither where you —
and others of your mind live.
Still once — dear, best good Sir, let not the memory of my
mean, sole person go lost among all your other weighty thoughts
and places, — in a time you should, as they here tell me, turn for
ever your back to Sweden.
Will you and Mrs Scott give me occasion for developping my
views upon a possible for me happy living with you — or in a
shool in a neighbourhood of you.
O! for peace! — for a right understanding —- for a deep true
religion! —
May it be permitted unto me to kiss your hand, o my
Spiritual Father — and wish upon it all God’s best blessings for time
and eternity!
Gustava Röhl.

Kind love to Mrs Scott. Does she know me right — as I
her? — Should we not well agree in the Lord! Oh — yes!

Stockholm, 29 Aprill 1842.
Dear Sir!
Permit me on your leaving for England to renew in writing my
expressions of deep regret on account of the circumstances wich
render a yourney to your native Land unavoidable. You have suffered
much here from a certain class, but be assured dear Sir, that
many of the noblest hearts in Sweden feel deeply the wrong done
you; and indeed your position can only be understood by knowing
and acknowledging the destructive power over the public mind,
spe-cialy in the Residence, wich our Radical papers have acquired.
Early last year this power was directed against the foundations
