Stockholm, October 10, 1849.1
My Very Dear and Rev. Sir,—Since I have had again this year
the joy to experience the charity of our American friends, by our dear
Mr. Scott of London, from whom I received the support that by your
kind recommendation has been given unto me for some years past, I
would herewith express my own and my family’s most heart)’ thanks
to you, and the venerable society from which this support is drawn.
May our God, whom you serve continually, bless you more and more!
And may he give me His grace to be more zealous and faithful in the
service in which you employ me.
I must begin by requesting your Christian forbearance with my
negligence in not having written sooner. I will not trespass upon your

i American and Foreign Christian Union, febr. 1850, p. 87 f. Det hade följande
introduktion:
The following letter from our Missionary in Sweden, Mr. Rosenius, will- be
read with no little interest. The work of the Lord is certainly advancing in that
hyperborean but poor kingdom. Appended to Mr. R’s letter is a note from the
Rev. George Scott, formerly stationed in Stockholm, now in London, which will
gratify his numerous friends in this country. Scotts brev hade följande lydelse:
37 Vincent Sq. Westminster, Dec. 1, 1849.
Rev. Dr. Baird.
My dear brother,
As this cover is open, I avail myself of the blank space to add a line. I
hope our friend, Rosenius, will regularly write you. I urged it very earnestly upon
him. There is a great and good work going on in Sweden ; some of us went forth
weeping, bearing precious seed, but the sowing has not been in vain.
Satan has been, and is still, making a desperate attack on Methodism, but
the things that cannot be shaken shall remain. We are building with our weapons
in one hand and have of course no time, no thought to spare. The Lord will carry
us safely through. All here unite in kindest remembrances, and will rejoice to
hear of your welfare. Our Glasgow Alliance-meeting was glorious, but we languish
at head quarters. It is up hill work, but this only proves the necessity, and the
right-minded and the rigt-hearted must persevere.
Yours most affectionately, Geo. Scott.
