SWEDENBORG TO BENZELIUS.
named Samuel Hesselius is to travel in his stead. You will
please excuse my haste; I have some commissions to attend
to during the fair. Meanwhile I wish you a happy new year,
and much pleasure and joy. With my remembrances to sister
Anna, and little brother Eric, 58 I remain, honoured and dear
brother,
Your most faithful brother,
EMAN . SWEDBERG.
Brunsbo, January 7, 1718.
P. S. If anything has to be corrected in the preface, I
wish you would undertake the trouble, and help me, in honour,
as you have done before.
As to the salt-works, something will certainly come out of
them , unless self-interest, which is already beginning to show
itself, rule too strongly. It is to be regretted. I yield as far
as I can ; and I think of withdrawing from the affair entirely,
that no blame may fall on me, in case it go on lamely and
slowly. Meanwhile I do not believe that it will rest on a
good foundation, unless Polhem be as well supported as he
thinks he ought to be. The salt can be made tolerably good,
quite as good as that from Lüneburg — useful for cooking pur
poses. More some other time.
