Dear Madam/Sir,
Wednesday afternoon I am planning to visit your Reading Room in Marieberg, Stockholm.
Is it possible to study the 32 letters Anders Meijer wrote between 1654-1663 to Carl Gustaf Wrangel? It is kept in Skoklostersamlingen III, 720795/III/02, Volym E 8420.
I am also interested in the book of Bertil Steckzén, “Västerbottens Regementes Officerare till 1841. Biografiska Uppgifter Över Officerare Och Likställda Vid Västerbottensfännikan Och Västerbottens Regemente”, Umeå 1955. Should I make an order or can I just find it in your library?
Best regards,
Hugo von Meijenfeldt

Dear Madam/Sir,
last 24 August I paid a visit to your Reading Roam together with my son. You helped us very well with documents from the Skoklostersammlingen III (E 8420) and two books. Thank you very much.
Studying all the results I found out that there are more letters from Andreas Meijer to Carl Gustaf Wrangel av Salmis in the Skoklostersammlingen II. Personarkiv, RA/720795.012, E 8200. The letters are 1656-1657 from Tübingen, 1660 from Riga and 1669 from Oberpahlen. Since I live in the Netherlands I wonder if it is possible to order a scan of these letters and if yes, what would be your estimation of the price?
Thank you in advance for the trouble taken.

Dear Hugo von Meijenfeldt,
Thank you for your interest in letters from Andreas Meijer to Carl Gustaf Wrangel in Box E 8200 Skoklostersamlingen II. The Box contains of a volume that are very difficult to scan and to get decent copies. Unfortunately it is not possible to get the pictures better and I will not charge for them.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Carl Michael Raab,
Thank you very much for your rapid response to my request.
You tried very hard to make decent scans, e.g. by taking the left page and right page separately. I have divided your three PDF-documents each into two or three letters.
The fact that the letters are in German and not Swedish make it easier for me. I need my paleographic skills to understand the content. Like you wrote the quality of the pictures is a challenge. You are very kind not to charge me for the scans, because it must have taken you some time.
Kind regards,
Hugo von Meijenfeldt
