SWEDENBORG’S CORRESPONDENCE.
received. As soon as this is produced, the money for those
that have been sold will be left in my father’s hands.
I remember now also the thirty silver pennings which I
forgot to re-pay you for the copper plåter * which I ex
changed at Upsal. Lest you might lose by the raised standard
of money, I have made an arrangement with brother Lars to
have them exchanged, for which purpose I left with him a small
sum in silver coin. With regard to the other obligations
which I owe to you, I shall remember them in due time, with
the greatest thankfulness.
I must ask you once more to send the enclosed to Assessor
Pålhammar14 by the next post, that the drawing may be
returned to you, and that, if it cannot be engraved in copper
at Upsal, I may make the necessary arrangements for it in
Stockholm ; and this ought to be done in time.
In the newspaper there was something about a new method
of computing the exchange of carolins into dalers. I do not
think that Werner67 has copied mine and published it in Stock
holm. Mine can be sold perhaps for half a daler in copper at
Upsal and Stockholm .
I remain, dear friend and brother,
Your servant,
EMAN . SWEDBERG .
[Brunsbo, beginning of April, 1716.]
P.S. I shall not be able to come over to Upsal for some
time; for I intend to remain here until there is some opening
for me ; as I am nearer here to advocate it in the proper
quarter [i. e. with the King]. Further, I have a little poetical
work in the press, here at Skara.t
I should like to get some information either from Dr.
Bromell ?2 or Roberg * about the clay which they use in Holland
72
* A Swedish copper coin.
f The poetical work in question is entitled : Ludus Heliconius, sive
Carmina Miscellanea, quæ variis in locis cecinit Emanuel Swedberg. ( The
Heliconian Sport, or Miscellaneous Poems written in various places by
Emanuel Swedberg), Skara, 1716. A second and enlarged edition appeared in
Stockholm in 1826 ; and a third edition was published by Dr. Im . Tafel at
Tübingen in 1841. The original edition published by Swedenborg himself
included all up to p. 30 of Dr. Tafel’s edition.
