SWEDENBORG’S ANCESTRY.
Chancery, who ought to be introduced into the dedication, viz.
Secretary Carlsson. He is a fine gentleman. I made his
acquaintance recently, when he was here with the gentlemen
of the government. Perhaps more of the Secretaries might
and ought to be mentioned ; so that no one who deserves to
be named as well as some of the others, may be slighted.
The inspector of the post-office in Stockholm is said to fill a
similar function. These points I leave to your good judgment.
As I do not know whether Emanuel or Assessor Benzel
stiernas is in Stockholm , I beg you to be kind enough to
receive, in return for the enclosed receipts, the gracious gifts
of the Queen, and to keep them until, God willing, I
come to the Diet. I had to promise His Majesty to come,
although I was very loath to do so. If Emanuel and Benzel
stiernas are in Stockholm I beg them to hire a room and
bed -chamber with board for me, for just charges. Would to
God I could be your comrade at sister Brita’s, to whom
you will please remember me most kindly, and, commending
both her and her family to God, I remain, with the greatest
respect,
Your most dutiful and obedient servant,
J. SWEDBERG.
Brunsbo, October. 19, 1722.
[P. S.] Is no favourable termination to be expected in
the College of Chancery to the application for printing the
Bible? His Excellency Count Horn has made fair promises.
