"Dear Mr President of the John Ericsson Society.
from Sweden and Jemtland I would like to send our greetings on the
John Ericsson-day and the celebration of this man. Our society,
Faltjagarföreningen, had it's 70 year anniversary on the 16th of June
this year. The society is active and right now we are planning to go to
Poland and Nowodwor where soldiers and officers from our regiment
took part in the war September 1655.
I, and my society, are looking forward to hear more about the
anniversary celebration. Until then, I wish You all the best.
Ake Hjelm
President of the Society of Faltjagarna"

"Oh! Give Us a Navy of Iron" - song written for Captain John Ericsson and the USS Monitor 1862. Words by D. Brainerd Williamson, music by James W. Porter
O give us a navy of iron And to man it our Yankee lads And we'll conquer the world's broad oceans With our navy of iron clads Then adieu to Britannia's power We'll crush it whenever we please The lion shall yeld to the eagle And Columbia shall rule the sea's Old England the foe of our fathers The foe of their children today Is gloating in hopes that our Union In darkness is passing away But treason shall die in its ashes And stronger than ever before We'll turn on the jealous old tyrant And punish John bull at his door	And where in the wide world a nation That could cope with out iron jacks! We would sweep all their seas and harbors Of their warriors and Merrimacs Then give us a navy of iron And we'll fling our flag to the breeze And prove to the despots of Europe That freedom must reign on the seas. Refrain O give us a navy of iron And to man it our Yankee lads And we'll conquer the world's broad oceans With our navy of iron clads Then adieu to Britannia's power We'll crush it whenever we please The lion shall yeld to the eagle And Columbia shall rule the sea's
