696 NOTES TO VOLUME I.
Madame Ehrenborg was a zealous receiver of the doctrines taught
by Swedenborg, and her whole life was devoted to the spread of his
doctrines by the press. The last work which she published was a
quarterly journal entitled "Ett Christligt Sändebud," of which fifteen
numbers appeared. She was born in 1794, and died at Linköping
in 1873, at the residence of her son -in -law Bishop Bring. The editor
of these documents visited this aged lady at Linköping in 1868,
when he obtained from her a copy of Swedenborg’s letter which is
printed in Document 132, p. 377.

PETER HULTMAN .
Peter Hultman, wholesale merchant and mine-owner (brukspatron )
in Stockholm , who enjoyed the title of director, was Swedenborg’s
banker during the greater part of his life. He administered a portion
of Swedenborg’s property as early as 1737, when he was a member
of the firm of Roman and Hultman (see Document 163). Sweden
borg drew money from him in 1744 (see Document 134) ; and in
Document 135 there is the first draught of a letter that Swedenborg
wrote to Hultman from Amsterdam in 1748, from which it appears
that this gentleman had charge of Swedenborg’s house during his
absence, and collected the interest of moneys due to him . From
Document 138 it appears that Swedenborg had 30,000 dalers in
copper invested with Hultman, and at the close of 1764 he had over
46,000 dalers in copper standing at his credit. Hultman’s daughter
Petronella was married to Count Frederic Gyllenborg, grandson of
Count F. Gyllenborg (see Note 115).

ANTON AND JOHAN GRILL.
Messrs. Anton and Johan Grill were Swedenborg’s bankers in
Amsterdam. Their father, Abraham Grill, was a wholesale mer
chant in Stockholm , of great wealth and liberality. Their brother
Clas Grill succeeded to their father’s business in Stockholm ; he
also was a man of great liberality, and furnished the means for
constructing and fitting up the observatory in Stockholm . Most of
his business in Amsterdam Swedenborg seems to have transacted
through Joachim Wretman, from whom several important letters
