C. G. NORDIN252 ON SWEDENBORG.*
"I read in the ’Berlinische Monatsschrift’ for April 1788, (sec
’Hamburgische Unpartheyische Correspondent,’ April 4, 1788,)
a report about Queen Louisa Ulrica’s letter to her brother,
the contents of which Swedenborg is said to have revealed.
The facts of the case are, that Höpken and Tessin kept back
the Queen’s letter, read it, informed Swedenborg about its
contents, and he declared that he received this information
.
from the spirit of Prince Ferdinand [!] Ferdinand died about
that time. Melcher Falkenberg, who was chamberlain and
recording secretary (Protokolls Sekreterare) at that time, was
the one who delivered the letter into Höpken’s hands. I was in

"I asked Rosenstein, the Councillor of Chancery, what
Senator Fersen had answered him in the Academy on the
20th inst., on what was written in the German paper (’Ham

the years 1786-1792), by Carl Gustav Nordin, published in the "Historiska
Handlingar" (Historical Transactions), Vol. VII, 1868.
Prince Augustus Ferdinand, brother of Queen Louisa Ulrica, died
in 1813.
According to Anrep’s "Ättar-taflor," Count Melcher Falkenberg at the
end of 1761, the date of Swedenborg’s experience with the Queen, was not
chamberlain, nor "protokolls sekreterare," but "lagman" (supreme judge)
of Westerbotten, which office he had filled since 1753. See also “Biografiskt
Lexicon," Vol. IV, p. 305.
