Frederic, by the grace of God, King of Sweden,
Gothia, Wendia, etc., Landgrave of Hesse, etc.
Our especial favour, and gracious pleasure,
under God Almighty, to the true men and servants, the Presi
dent, Councillors of Mines, and Assessors. We have noticed in
your humble communication of the 17th inst., Assessor Sweden
borg’s petition, in which he asks to be permitted to make
another journey abroad, that, after collecting some information
in the libraries there, he may complete and see through
the press a work which has been begun by him ; the above
mentioned Assessor desiring, the sooner the better, to return
home again, and also to leave half his ordinary salary to
Assessor Porath, that he may perform his service during his
absence. And inasmuch as we, on account of your humble
application, are willing graciously to grant Assessor Sweden
borg’s petition, where he asks to be allowed to make another
journey abroad in the above-mentioned manner; we hereby
make this known to you, and instruct you to acquaint the
above-mentioned Assessor with it ; and we commend you to the
grace of God Almighty. FREDERIC.
The Council-chamber, Stockholm , June 30, 1743.
