Right Reverend Doctor and Bishop,
Most honoured Brother,
I had the honour of receiving your favour in
which you informed me of the engagement which has since
terminated in the marriage of your and my sister’s daughter,
Anna Dorothea Filenia, with Magister Samuel Älf,177 professor
and lector. With all my heart I wish them success and happiness ;
and may they be long and permanently blessed therewith, to
their own and their parents’ heartfelt joy, which will also be
a joy to me.
With deference and hearty congratulations for a blessed
New Year I remain, Right Reverend Doctor and Bishop,
Your most humble servant,
EM. SWEDENBORG.
Stockholm, January 6, 1763.
