The letter:

My lords, the king returned hither again last week from his visit, which his majesty hath given at Fontainbleau to queen Christina of Sweden; and upon tuesday last the cardinal went from hence for Petrebourg, between which place and Fontainbleau the queen was to meet his eminence; and yesterday the lord cardinal came hither back again. Whether the said queen will now come to Paris, or depart for Avignon to stay there for some time, is uncertain. The palace of the duke of Lorrain is ordered to lodge her, if she come to this city.
