FIFTH LETTER OF J. WRETMAN174 TO
EMANUEL SWEDENBORG.*
Well-born Sir and kind Patron,
I was delighted to hear by your kind letter of
August 21 that you had safely reached home, and that the
box containing the sugar had likewise been delivered in good
time. I received at the same time your remittance of 52 florins
10 stivers by draft on Messrs. Anthon and John Grill,112 which
has been honoured, and by which your account with me has
been settled. I was very glad to hear that your garden and
residence escaped the last terrible fire in Stockholm. The
signs of the times look threatening, especially for the Swedish
shipping interest. When the Court of Denmark shows an ill
will against that of Sweden by calling back their Ambassador
without his taking leave, it looks very badly, and the whole
North in this case will be involved in war for the sake of
France and England.
I commend myself to your constant favour, and I, with
profound deference, have the honour to remain always
Your obedient servant,
JOACHIM WRETMAN.
Amsterdam, September 1, 1759.
To Mr. Em. Swedenborg, Assessor in the Royal College of
Mines, Stockholm.
* The Swedish original of this letter is in the Archives of the Sweden
borg Society, London (see footnote to Document 210).
