Doo. 294] DOCUMENTS COLLECTED BY MR. WHITE. 741
"Your Royal Highness gives proof of your sovereign grace
and tenderness in ordering special subscriptions to be made
for the complete restoration of the episcopal palace ; but I,
my wife, and children, O most gracious King, are going about
little short of naked ; neither have I a single book which my
office demands.
"When the house is ready, there will be furniture to be
thought of; chests, cupboards, tables, table-cloths, beds, bed
linen, bed-curtains, dishes, plates, and various other things,
required in such an establishment.
"I have, O King, two young sons who have been brought
up for Your Majesty’s service. One of twenty-four years of
age is now in England pursuing his studies, another of seven
teen is in Pomerania with the army. I must not see them
want.
"JESPER SWEDBERG.
"Rånaker, March 11, 1712."
B.
SECOND LETTER OF BISHOP SWEDBERG TO THE KING.*
"Most Mighty King, Most Gracious Lord,
"I have a son Emanuel, who has been for years
pursuing his studies in England, Holland, and France, and is
now staying, I believe, at Rostock or Greifswalde. In mathe
matics and mechanics he may, with God’s help, be useful to
Your Majesty, either at the Academy [University] or else
where.
"JESPER SWEDBERG.
"Brunsbo, October 21, 1714."
