1499. THE NUMBER OF THOSE KNOWN TO ME DURING THEIR LIFE WITH WHOM I HAVE BEEN I have computed the number of those with whom I have conversed, whom I had known during their bodily life, to exceed 30, so that there are more than 30 at the least, for I could not recall them all. With some I have conversed for days, with others for weeks, with two for about two months. I have also spoken with them about domestic affairs during their life, and about very many other things, altogether as man with man: and also concerning things that have happened since their death, and about very many like things. 1748, Mar. 18. I can now increase the number to 60. 1748, Sept. 24.* * This sentence was added when Swedenborg was compiling the Index.
