The letter:

An Itallian, that was steward of the hous to the queen of Sweden, is put into the inquisition at Rom. The pope had latly allotted twelv thousand crownes a year towards the queen of Sweden's maintenance, and a councel called Collegio di propagando fede has contradicted it. I believ, if that queen does not carry her self more modest, they will go near to put her into a monastery.
