I remain till my death" (9th July 1722), Tessin replies that the King will graciously have agreed "to the desired extension ... which is only to apply to the persons concerned; it being necessary to hold back the execution decreed on them ... until the King's Majesty's gracious Resolution herein" (Council Chamber, 10th July 1722), 2 sides folio, Stockholm, 9th-10th July
