accommodation, and more frequently confer orally with me ; from
which, I have no doubt, both of us would derive satisfaction. For
although I am well aware that the present hard times, and
the few days I have still to live, will prevent the execution
of my designs, I nevertheless experience both pleasure and

for an answer.
To Mr. EMANUEL SWEDBERG, in Stockholm .
