The Royal Court of Sweden

Letter of Farewell of King Gustav III of Sweden

My beloved people!
I see afar off the sails of the boats and feel it is time to leave. We hear the distant sound of moving water, the anchors that arise, and the cry of the captain's departure, I see the ladies in their pretty dresses, leaving the carriages accompanied by his servants and ladies. But I know that is not goodbye, for we shall meet soon in an eternal abode, the heart of my people, live face to face, forever in our memories Sweden will not die.
I ask that Sweden alive in your hearts, and in this place so pure and holy live to posterity, while there is hope in your heart I'll be there ready to live or die amongst you.
In Sweden we live in a golden age and went into the unknown, we stopped for something even bigger. I invite everyone to embark with me into the future, toward the final battle and when it passes, we'll meet in heaven or in the fields of victory.

May God bless my people.
(Rick.alston) King Gustav III of Sweden

I am heart sick at the thought of never seeing the your beautiful kingdom again. I spent many lovely hours there, ice skating, dancing and enjoying the company of good friends. "Fair thee well, dear friends and beautiful snow-covered Sweden."
