MAGISTER UNGE TO SWEDENBORG.*
66
To Assessor E. SWEDENBORG .
My most honoured and dear brother,
Last Tuesday I had the honour of writing to
you, and I informed you then, that the Bishop accepted your
draught for 700 dalers, for the sake of assisting brother Anthon
Swab. It would be well if he could really be helped by it.
The Bishop’s wife thanks you very much for the trouble you
have taken. But is Anthon Swab 66 so poor that he requires
the Bishop’s assistance ? I thought the Swabs had a good
inheritance, and if this is so, why does the Bishop’s wife
trouble him with it ? I remember her saying once, when she
was troubled about him, that if the Bishop would only come
to his assistance, she would willingly pay it back to him
again from what would some day come to her. I believe that
he must have received a snug little sum, when all is added up.
With regard to the deputies in the House of Nobles-I
do not mean the heads of families which hitherto have been
there - there has been considerable talk about them down
here , but I believe that the House of Nobles will lose much
of the authority, which it has maintained thus far, as long as
it could derive strength from the Biblical saying : plures sumus.
I wish the present Diet may close well, and indeed by Christ
mas. In every other respect, I remain with many kind
remembrances and esteem, my most honoured and dear
brother’s.
Most obedient servant,
J. UNGE. 5
