182 DOCUMENTS CONCERNING SWEDENBORG.
" Upon asking the maid if he ever ate any animal food, said he once had some
pigeon pie.
*’ She said, that he told them a few days before his death, when it would hap-
pen; and, said she. He was as pleased !
—and she made a comparison, that the
pleasure was such as if she was going to have a holiday, to go to some merry-
making.
" London, March, 16, 1 778. I, Henry Peckitt, called upon Mr. Springer, No. 12,
Craven Buildings, near Wych Street, who is Counsellor of Commerce for Swe-
den. He had been acquainted with the Baron Swedenborg for many years. It
seems the Baron had visited England many times during his life.
" Mr. Springer told me the Baron had a fine house and garden at Stockholm
;
and he was sitting with company at Gottenburg, which is I 88 miles from Stock-
holm, and told them that part of the town was on fire where his house and
garden were, and he hoped his house would escape the flames, 1759. He shortly
after told them his house was safe, but the garden was destroyed ; and when
the post arrived, a few days after, it was as he had predicted.
*’ Mr. Springer also told me that the Queen of Sweden had writ letters to her
brother, a Prince of Prussia, and having n& answer, she doubted whether he
had received them or not. The Baron at that time had converse with the Queen,
and her brother died in Prussia. She was desirous to know if he had received
the letters. She consulted the Baron, who said he would inform her in a few
days. He did, and told her he had received them, and was going to answer
them, and that in an escritoire of the Prince’s was a letter unfinished, intended
for her, but he was taken ill and died. She sent to the King of Prussia, and it
was as the Baron had foretold : the King sent her the unfinished letter.
" It seems the Baron was always subject to an impediment in his speech. He
writ none of his Theological works for gain.
" So much from Mr. Springer."
