Postscript from William Lockhart's letter to secretary John Thurloe, dated March 3/13 (New Style), 1658

Source:

A Collection of the State Papers of John Thurloe, Esq;, volume 6, page 840, published by Thomas Birch, 1742; original at the University of Michigan


With modernised spelling:

The Queen of Sweden left Paris yesterday morning, ill-satisfied that she had not all the money she demanded.

French translation (my own):

La reine de Suède a quitté Paris hier matin, mécontente de ne pas avoir tout l'argent qu'elle demandait.

Swedish translation (my own):

Sveriges drottning lämnade Paris igår morse, missnöjd över att hon inte hade alla de pengar hon krävde.


Above: Kristina.
