JESPER SWEDENBORG62 TO ERICUS BENZELIUS.
Most reverend Doctor and Bishop,
Most honoured and dear brother,
Since you have always been favourably inclined
towards me, I am so much the more assured that you will
not receive my letter unfavourably ; for I am compelled by
necessity to address you. I have written many times to brother
Lars Benzelstiernas about the moneys that have been received
for the large stone house, but I am unable to have justice
done me in Stockholm, inasmuch as I have never had a
word in reply. If he say that he has not received my letter,
or that it has been lost at the post-office, neither can possibly
be the case, because I have in truth written him at least
thirty letters, and have received no answer to any of them, which
appears to me very surprising. I, therefore, entreat you most
humbly for the sake of justice to write to brother Lars Ben
zelstierna,8 and endeavour to prevail upon him to be so good
as to hand over to me the money he has had in his possession
for a long time
, and to pay me the following sums, which
I know [belong to me).
I have been informed that he has paid 3,000 pund[?] of
the money for the large stone house to the widow of the
Bishop ; two-sevenths of that purchase money I am entitled to.
I have, therefore, to receive for my share 500 pund [?] more
than the other brothers and sisters. In addition to this,
brother Lars Benzelstierna has to pay me brother Emanuel’s
money for Barby; for which he has to pay the Bishop’s widow,
as well as myself. The next is the 8,500 pund from Schultz,
out of which I received 1,600 pund after the Bishop’s widow
