As I understood there were only 28 Swedes in December left in legion? What was their number in October for example? Or what was highest number of men this legion reached?

Шведский балтийский батальон (Белый Легион):
28 человек. Несмотря на свою численность, именно участие Шведов в Гражданской войне на Северо-Западе России, родило слухи среди местных крестьян о массовом десанте из Швеции в Петроградской губернии.
Шведский Белый легион. Добровольческий антибольшевистский отряд, состоявший из шведских офицеров. Воевал в составе Северо-Западной армии в качестве отдельной части. В декабре 1919 насчитывал 28 чел.

Will check his sources, but believe this is general amount of Swedes available in region. Understood they were enlisted into different white russian units (like mentioned in my letter).

PS! I did check his data and actually he is not sure abt. this legion as well. In his table at the end (pg.628 in Estonian version) is stated that there was apprx.200 men under K.G.Malmberg command.

Considering that numbering hasn't changed, I guess it was this one:

"Suur-Karja tänav 20/Pärnu maantee 12 asub aastatel 1899–1900 arhitektide Rudolf von Engelhardt, Nikolai Thamm noorema poolt Tallinna Saksa klubiks ehitatud hoone."

No, that is not this hospidal! From 1867 to 1978, there was active hospidal (later famous IV Hospidal for Party members until they build new one next to old whitch was ready by 1978) next to Parnu street. Big hospidals at that time were next to railway and railway is just few hundred meters since XIX century from site.
We are talking three floor building whitch was build next to an old and small buliding in 1881 by L. Christophi.

Don't let this nr.12 mislead you! Today this hospidal building is still visuable and there is Magdalena Healtcentre.

Most probably in letter they are missing either "Grosse" before Peranustrasse or number was wrong or was sutch number given only to this public building.

Yes, I did understand my mistake, 12 was a number of ward in Diaconian hospital where that Swedish officers stayed, it wasn't number of building. Thank you!
This is old Diakonissi haigla building, right? https://www.google.ee/maps/@59.4181519, ... 9wCJ_g!2e0
