SWEDENBORG TO BRITA BEHM.50*
Madam ,
With regard to the goods conveyed, which I gave
in charge to Chamberlain Count Gyllenborg,87 I am not
at all willing to take them back, and I neither ought nor
can do so ; and as what I sent there from my own works
amounts to a total of 608 copper dalers in currency, and
144 skeppund, 18 pund, pig iron, I have always suspected, that
you would not give it up on closing up correctly and without
objections
. If you really entertain such pretensions as your
letter intimates, where you demand that these assignments
should be accepted and paid for, it is well that I have taken
all necessary precaution in this matter ; if, therefore, you
make such a demand by law, I shall give you an answer, and
meanwhile it is quite unnecessary for us to talk about it ; I
will only tell you this much beforehand, that with such a
case you will lose more by going to law, than win.
Moreover it may be necessary to go into court with respect
to the considerable expenses in the building of the forge, and
also about the large amount of out-standing debts with which
we are charged with several other things, inasmuch as I
cannot agree to several things which are entered into the
account; all of which will also have to be examined by law,
should we be unable to agree. I remain meanwhile, with es
teem, madam,
Your dutiful servant,
Em. SWEDENBORG.
Stockholm, Dec. 23, 1729.
