SWEDENBORG TO BENZELIUS.
as I desire to keep them for myself alone, I should like to
have them returned with my former collections about copper,
not later than July.
I thank you very much for your offer of money, but I
have already plenty in Norrberke,68 which will not be wanted
until next winter, so that I have no occasion for it. I am
glad that you effected a good sale; I should like to hear at
what price it was sold.
I remain, honoured and dear brother, most respectfully
Your most obedient servant,
EM. SWEDENBORG.
Stockholm, May 26, 1724.
P. S. I shall have the honour now of congratulating you
on obtaining the theological professorship in succession to
Diurberg. *

SWEDENBORG TO BENZELIUS. +
Most honoured and dear brother,
I thank you with all my heart for your com
pany and the welcome you gave to me on my visit. I had
no difficulty on my journey to Stockholm ; and on my arrival I
met my brother Jesper,62 Magister Nordborgº from England,
and Magister Andreas Hesselius91 from Pennsylvania. Magister
Hesselius is now pastor in Säter; he collected many curious
objects during his stay in Pennsylvania, and wrote a minute de
scription of the country; but he had the misfortune to have
this, as well as his other things immersed in water, and
* Ericus Benzelius continued as professor of theology at Upsal until
1726, when he was appointed Bishop of Gottenburg.
