MAGISTER UNGE TO SWEDENBORG . *
To Assessor E. SWEDENBORG .
Most honoured and dear brother,
As much as I was pleased with your former
letter, in which you wrote me that your journey abroad was
given up, so much the more disappointed was I at your last
letter, in which you say the French journey is again deter
mined upon. Remember me kindly to brother Benzelstierna,8
whom I will not answer this time, as he wishes to have some
particulars respecting the earthquake that took place here.
There is another thing which happened to a man here, who
some years ago, while he was young, in the course of half
an hour got a beard which was so long that it reached down
to his waistband, and he would no doubt have kept this long
beard , if he had not been too young to run about with it.
The man is still living ; he is now over seventy years old.
This was done through sorcery or rather by the evil one him
self. I will send an account of this to brother Benzelstierna,
together with the former.
Your most obedient servant
,
J. UNGE.
Lidköping, April 24, 1736.
