Transcript:

Upsal, 17. June, 1654. O.S.
This parliament continues still, but as yet there is little or nothing done considerable. The late queen is departed hence, intending, as is given forth, to take her journey through Denmark, and to go for the Spa. Some think she is going to the emperor's court, and that there is a match in hand between her majesty and the Roman king; but all uncertain.



Above: Kristina, year 1654.
