Dear Madam/Sir,
On 27 September I sent you the order form below. That is only 11 days ago, therefore I am not rushing you to answer.
I only have the question if the missing library card number would cause any difficulty. I am not a student or professor at your University, but a Dutch researcher into the history of the Meijerfeldt family.
If that is no problem I hope you are able to give me an estimation of the number of pages to be scanned and the price involved.
Thank you very much in advance for any trouble taken.
Kind regards,
Hugo von Meijenfeldt

Dear Hugo von Meijenfeldt,
I apologize about not sending you an answer earlier but I can’t find your order from 27th of September. I’ll get back to you regarding your order as soon as possible.
Best regards,

Dear Hugo von Meijenfeldt,
Mystery solved! You’d filled out the form for ordering material to our Reading room, so the material was waiting for you there. But now I have it in front of me. In X 240 there is a cover marked “J. A. Meyerfeldt”. I see that you have written 26 documents, and the folder contains quite a lot of documents, far more than 26. Are there any documents that you are specifically interested in?
Best regards,
Linda Israelsson

Dear Linda Israelsson,
Thank you very much for solving the problem.
On the one hand I am happy that there are so many documents in the “J.A. Meyerfeldt” file, on the other I agree with you to focus .
The oldest documents are the most importanty to me:
– Underthänigst Memoria (Meritförteckning, egenhänd.)
– Fullmakt vom Kornett 1686
– 2. löjnant 1689
– v.d. Pahlens afsked ock pass för honom 1693
– Kong. Wilhelm af Holland kapten fullmakt för honom 1693
– Kong. Wilhelm af Holland majors fullmakt 1698
– Kapitulation för honom und. Otto Wellingk 1700
– Öfverstelöjtnants fullmakt för honom und. Otto Wellingk 1700
– Värfvingspatent und. Otto Wellingk 1700
In the Riksregistraturet of the Riksarkivet I found the official documents of his further promotions.
Out of the rest I am interested in three travel documents:
– Respass för honom för resan till och från Turkiet 1709-1711
– Utgifter under hans resa till Bender 1710-1711
– Kungl. pass för honom 1711
Hope this selection helps.
Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend,
Hugo

Thank you for all your work. My e-mail was in HTML, this one is in flat text.

Dear Linda,
Thank you very much for all the effort you take to inform me.
I take the poor quality of the originals as a fact. I would certainly understand if the conservators are not happy to smooth out the paper on the right. It might crumble. I suppose there is not more to see when I would visit your library in the (post-Corona) future?
The one respass of 1709 is correct (from Bender to Stockholm) and the other Kongl. pass was for his way back to bring money for a new war.
Thank you for checking the number of pages of the documents and the calculation of the price. Quite funny that his “Utgifter under hans resa till Bender 1710-1711” is the most expensive one. I will not order that one. The rest adds up to SEK 520. EUR 50 sounds different.
With the hope that your conservators can tighten the few curly papers a bit I would like to order them anyway. If I have to pay upfront I am very pleased to do so.
Cheers,
Hugo

Dear Linda,
Thank you very much for your – always – quick response.
I follow your suggestion to hand over the meritförteckning to the conservators.
I have filled in and send the digitalisation order form. It looks indeed more accurate than the first form I accidently used.
Thanks again,
Hugo

Dear Hugo
The documents that needed mending is now left with the conservators. I will let you know when they are delivered to the photographers.
Best regards

Dear Linda,
Thank you for the excellent work and communication.
In the extra remarks of my digitalisation form I also indicated that the conservators will have a look at a few documents.
By the way, two years ago I was looking for “Svecia illustris” of A.A. von Stiernman under X 18. Thanks to your colleague Moa Bergkvist I got hold of a scan of the four pages regarding “Mejerfelt”, that go back to 1480. I am sure your assistance will lead to similar discoveries for my research.
Best regards,
Hugo

Dear Hugo
Just a quick question: do you happen to have a VAT number? For the Familiearchief Von Meijenfeldt.
Best regards

Uppsala, 16 okober 2020
Dear Hugo!
I’m sorry, while filling out the form here I discovered that VAT number doesn’t seem to be neccessary.
I’ve left the material with the photograpers now.
I hope you’ll have a lovely weekend!
Best regards
Linda Israelsson
Bilthoven, 16 oktober 2020
Thank you Linda.
Although you don’t need the answer anymore, just to be sure I confirm that my “Familiearchief” is not a legal entity and therefore has no VAT-number.
Have a nice weekend as well.
Hugo

Dear Kjell Sagström and Linda Israelsson,
Thank you very much for the fast scan operation of the requested documents. The quality of the scans is beyond expectation.
I have retrieved the images, split them into seperate documents, and diagonally read through the Dutch, German and Swedish language. I’ll have to re-write the history of my family between 1683 and 1700.
I will await your payment request,
Best regards,
