SWEDENBORG TO HIS BANKER.
rangement. A copy of these acts was made under his super
intendence, and collated by Secretary Bergström ; and the
above is a concise history of the suit, as contained in them .
As, however, they throw light only on the character of
Swedenborg’s maternal aunt, Brita Behm, 50 and not on his
ówn, it is not worth while to dwell upon them at greater length.
The above suit was terminated some time during the month
of August, 1722, since, in a letter dated August 7, 1722,
Bishop Swedberg makes the following remarks respecting it
to Johan Rosenadler:51 Emanuel gives me hope that those
concerned will soon agree in the division of the inheritance.
May God grant it! (See Document 27.)
The following letter, which was communicated to the editor
in 1870 by the late Madame Ehrenborg 110 of Linköping, and
which was addressed by Swedenborg to his banker in Amster
dam, shows that he was at the time “negotiating for some
mining interest," which “ mining interest" was no other than
a share in the iron-works at Axmar, which belonged to
the estate of his late uncle, and four-fifths of which came into
the possession of Brita Behm. Swedenborg had also negotiated
with the same banker for the money, by which he came into
the possesion of the iron -works at Starbo, in 1721.
SWEDENBORG TO HIS BANKER . *
Most honoured Sir,
Yesterday I had the honour to receive your
last letter, and I thank you for the trouble you have taken
about the trunk ; if it is not too late, I would ask the favour
of your sending it by some ship coming here. The bill of
exchange, which you sent for 300 pund, Dutch Currency,
I have caused to be accepted, and I take it for the present
on account, and hope it will be honoured at the proper
time, of which I will give you notice. I should like very
much if you would let me have a short account of all I have
* Swedenborg’s banker in Amsterdam . A copy of this letter was re
ceived by the editor from Madame Ehrenborg of Linköping.
