To the editors:

Congratulations and thanks to the Reader and Charlie Custer for the fascinating cover story on Swedenborg [January 24]. The Reader once again distinguishes itself for giving space to a most unlikely yet surprisingly relevant subject. And Mr. Custer is to be commended for enlivening a seemingly dry story with his extensive and personal research. I couldn’t help but wonder if this was an outline of a sort for a book.
