The letter:

RIGHT HONOURABLE,

Right honourable,

your most faithful servant

CHARLES LONGLAND.

Nov. 3. 1656. [N. S.]

With modernised spelling:

Right Honourable,

... The Queen of Sweden is returned as far as Pavia; some say she goes for Venice, others for Rome; but I believe that place is too hot for her, the sickness increasing. ...

Right Honourable,

your most faithful servant

Charles Longland.

November 3, 1656. [N. S.]

French translation (my own):

Très honorable sieur,

... La reine de Suède est renvoyée jusqu'à Pavie; certains disent qu'elle va à Venise, d'autres à Rome; mais je crois qu'il fait trop chaud pour elle, parce que le mal s'accroît.  ...

Très honorable seigneur,

votre plus fidèle serviteur

Charles Longland.

Le 3 novembre 1656. [Nouveau style.]

Swedish translation (my own):

Ers Ärevördighet,

... Sveriges drottning är återkommen ända till Pavia; vissa säger att hon går för Venedig, andra för Rom; men jag tror att den platsen är för varm för henne, ty sjukdomen ökar. ...

Ers Ärevördighets

trognaste tjänare

Charles Longland.

Den 3 november 1656. [Nya stilen.]
