Doc. 47.] SWEDENBORG TO ERICUS BENZELIUS. 235
science. I should have liked to meet Leibnitz,62 who is at present
in Vienna. Wolf’s18 mathematical course translated into
Latin may be found perhaps in Sweden : it is a very useful
and clearly written book. I should like to know what you have
in hand at present.
I am exceedingly glad to hear that Professor Upmark51 and
sister Eva Swede* are united in thalamo et lecto ; I wish them
every kind of happiness. I had intended to write a carmen
nuptiale in their behalf, but as it is now too late, it will
probably be a carmen geniale.
Remember me a thousand times to sister Anna” ; and when
you feel inclined to write, I expect to have a short account
of how little brother Eric58 is.
I suppose Prof. Elfvius54 will use his greatest diligence at
the great eclipse of May the 3rd.
I remain always, my dear brother,
Your most obedient servant and brother,
EMAN. SWEDENBORG .
Greifswalde, 4 April, 1715.
P.S. Messrs. Estenberg and Cederholm, who are ordinarii
( ordinary assessors) in the government office, relate that brother
Hinric Benzelius? was staying in Constantinople when they left
it. I do not know whether he is with the suite. They arrived
safely this week, so we shall soon hear whether he is with them.
