SWEDENBORG TO BENZELIUS.*
Most honoured friend and brother,
My last, I hope, has arrived. I request you
now to have the kindness to send of Dedalus, part v, twenty
copies on fine paper, and also some on the other paper, because
,
I must complete the sets here as well as at Lund with the
same quality of paper as the parties received at first. I shall
perhaps follow with the Theory of the Earth, as I mentioned in
my last. In a fortnight from yesterday I intend to leave ;
should no opportunity present itself during the interval for
sending over the copies and the plate, I shall willingly pay for
an express to bring them, on account of the use they will be
to me at Lund. I wonder what decision has been arrived at
with regard to the Astronomical Observatory, inland naviga
tion, and salt-boiling, plans for which have been submitted
to His Majesty. I will let you know about it when
opportunity offers; on the last point I will also communi
cate with Dr. Roberg, *0 although the present time seems
unseasonable for all good plans. The remaining pair of kid
gloves I leave with brother G. Benzel.66 I should like to hear
when my maternal aunt, Brita Behm ,50 is expected from Upsal.
With a thousand kind remembrances, I remain, most ho
noured and dear brother,
Your most faithful brother,
EMAN. SWEDBERG .
Stockholm , April 4, 1717.
