NINETEENTH LETTER* OF BISHOP SWEDBERG
TO JOHAN ROSENADLER .
Well-born Councillor of Chancery.
Most honoured Brother,
I presume you will give your kind consent
to the publication of the two useful school books which I
left in your hands during my stay in Stockholm, viz, the Latin
Swedish, and the Swedish-Latin Dictionaries. In these I have
endeavoured to give pure and correct Swedish, not only in
respect to orthography, but also in respect to the declensions
and conjugations. On account of my having carefully at
tended to this, I hope that you will give your favourable
assent to these two small dictionaries, and will speed them
on. As soon as I receive your consent, I intend to have them
printed here at Skara, during my life-time ; for we have new
type here. Unless this be done we shall remain barbarians in our
own country. Could I get them sent here by some student who is
returning home, I should like it very much. A student of West
gothland reads with the sons of Assessor L. Benzelstierna®; he
no doubt could find out some returning student. My son
Emanuel intends to come down here for Christmas. Cleverus
is doing much better, but Fahlundius is just as difficult. How
did the Committee on the affairs of justice find matters? Please
remember me kindly to the sisters and the little boys.
Commending you to God, I remain with great respect
Your most obedient servant,
JESPERUS SWEDBERG.
Brunsbo, October 24, 1723.
