The letter:
The queen of Swedeland is still courted with comedies and shews, and says she will go to Paris to mediate the general peace, when the weather is more seasonable.
Farther some say she undertakes, that her successor the king of Swedeland shall join with that king, who shall be yielding to a just and honourable peace against the other, till he be compelled to it.
The prince of Condé entertained that queen very civilly; but it happened, that they two dining together with others, the arch–duke Leopold being not upon the place, that the prince found himself offended, being not treated or placed with the same respect as the arch–duke; but her Majesty excused herself, that though he was a royal prince, yet he was not the immediate son of a crown or monarchy; so the business passed lightly, but the prince is not satisfied in mind. ...
