The letter:
My Lord,
SINCE my last of the 27th of the last month, here is news come, that the queen, by reason of some indisposition, was fain to stay some days at Newcoping, and to change her resolution in her journey, which she thought should have been by sea to Pomeren; but she went for Denmark, with an intention to go to the Spa to drink the waters. It is said, that the ships, that are to transport her majesty, are also to transport five thousand soldiers for the bishoprick of Bremen; and that five thousand more are to follow. How the letter of their high and mighty lordships was resented by the queen, I cannot yet learn. Men do begin to discourse here of a new war, that is likely to be begun suddenly in the empire.
Stockholm, the 3rd of July, 1654. [N.S.]
