The letter:

Upon the death of the king of Sweden, the queen is hasting from Rom to her own country; but it is believed, she will very hardly fynd entrance ther. At Rom she is very poore and retyred, and 'tis believed, want of meanes to be a chief caus of her departure; for the pope is weary of her. All Itallians ar streit-handed; they lov not such convertins, as want mony.
