SWEDENBORG TO A. D. SCHÖNSTRÖM.95*
Most honoured and dear brother,
I thank you for your kind letter, and also for
having returned me my letter. With respect to the matter
about which you asked me in confidence, and where I was to
point out to you the way by which to obtain it, I can see no
better way or mode for it, than that you should first sound
them orally, so as to be able to tell whether those who are
concerned are flexible or not; no one wishes you better success
than I, and if the appearances are favourable, I will help you
as much as I am able, according to my small ability. But
as you make your request so very urgently, I can surmise
nothing else, than that there is something very pressing in
volved in it, which you endeavour to reach by it. In case there
should be any pretty maiden in question, I wish you as much
success in the latter, as in the former case.
With respect to the letter to Mr. Balgerie, I have not
written him a letter for the last three years, and he may no
longer remember me ; at all events it would be difficult for
me to compose a letter in French, which you might approve.
In order to oblige you in this matter, I yesterday therefore
requested the Councillor of Commerce, Cameén, to do this
service for you, which he has promised to do in all due form,
and to send it to you, at least if you request him to do so ;
and I can assure you that one word from him will weigh
more than a thousand from me, who have never had any
dealings with him.
I remain, meanwhile, with all due respect,
Your most obedient servant,
EM . SWEDENBORG.
Stockholm , November 21, 1727.
