Doc. 131.] BISHOP JESPER TO HIS SON JESPER. 375
your account, I made out a written declaration for him .
You may thank the good Lord for such a handsome sum of
money. If I had chosen, I, and not my children, should have
inherited her property according to law. But my best inten
tions are for my children. I, even in addition, paid to the
claimants 6000 dalers, and more besides, which has been
asked for - of this Emanuel will be able to tell you. All this
sum not I, but you, ought to have paid. But I am a father,
and you are my children, and I always have your interest at
heart. Let me see now, that you agree well among your
selves, as brothers; and as a reward for my overflowing kind
ness let me not hear of any discord. Look to it that you get
on well out there. There would be no use in your being
here, for you would spend your time uselessly. You write
a good hand; you are good at figures. You are, thank God,
unmarried. Try to get a good wife; and a good dowry with
her. Ask God to direct you in his own good ways. I commend
you to God, and remain
Your loving Father,
J. SWEDBERG.
Brunsbo, April 20, 1724.
P. S. All send their love to thee. My book will appear
shortly; within three weeks. If you are willing that the other
book, on the forgiveness of sinners, should be printed at your
expense, I will dedicate it to you. Give me a definite answer.
