DOCUMENT 183.
LETTER OF EMANUEL SWEDENBORG TO
BARON (CARL FREDRIC HÖPKEN]*
High -born Baron and President
I have the honour of sending to you the en
closed remarks on the book of Nordencrantz,133 the Councillor
of Commerce, together with a copy of my letter to the
Councillor of Commerce, which I addressed to him yesterday
with a copy of my remarks. You will please not to let any
one read the copy of my letter, with the exception of His
Excellency your brother, who does not yet know anything
about this; the remarks, however, may be seen by any one who
would like to see them ; for they are made upon a printed
book, against which any one may write or publish what he
pleases.
I remain with [all due respect,]
[Em. SWEDENBORG.]
[Stockholm , February 1, 1761.]

Höpken,28 as he was at the time President of the Exchequer -College
(Cammar-Collegium ). He was a younger brother of Count Höpken, and
died in 1778. A Swedish copy of this letter in Swedenborg’s own hand
writing is preserved in the Library of the Academy of Sciences among Sweden
borg’s “ Riksdagsskrifter," on leaf 57.
of Count Anders Johan von Höpken,28 who was at the time Prime
Minister of Sweden.
