SWEDENBORG AT LEIPZIG IN 1734.
way with the press-work, and fully at work, and as I am
assured, and find by the preparations that have been made,
that I shall have finished it by the coming Easter ; but, in order
to accomplish this in the manner it ought to be done, it is
indispensable that I should remain on the spot. Besides, it
would be almost impossible for me to start for home during
the present or the coming month ; and the state of my
health will not permit me to make so long a journey as
would have to be made by Hamburg, Copenhagen, and thence
onwards, during the winter season. If I should obtain from
the well-born Baron and President, and the most honourable
College this extension of my leave of absence, there might
likewise be granted me the permission, for which I pray with
the same humility, that on account of some private affairs
I might make from here a tour to Lüneburg and Cassel; and
as I shall require for this purpose four or five weeks only,
I hope that I may return early in the coming summer, with
all my work done, and may be able to pay my respects to
the well-born Baron and President, and to the most honourable
Royal College. I remain with profound respect, most well
born Baron and President, and most honourable Royal College,
Your most humble servant,
EMAN. SWEDENBORG .
