The letter excerpt:

Paris, February 16/6, 1655/6.

... Letters from Rome tell us, that the Pope did continue his noble entertainments towards queen Christina, so far as to propound unto her the opening of the holy gate, as did heretofore Paul the third, to receive and honour the emperor Charles the fifth; and that she was daily feasted by all princes and grandees. ...

French translation (my own):

Paris, le 16/6 février 1655/6.

... Des lettres de Rome nous disent que le Pape a continué ses nobles divertissements envers la reine Christine, jusqu'à lui proposer l'ouverture de la Porte Sainte, comme le faisait jusqu'ici Paul III pour recevoir et honorer l'empereur Charles-Quint; et qu'elle était régalée chaque jour par tous les princes et grands. ...

Swedish translation (my own):

Paris, den 16/6 februari 1655/6.

... Brev från Rom berättar att påven har fortsatt sina ädla underhållningar gentemot drottning Kristina, så långt att han föreslog henne öppnandet av den heliga porten, som hittills Paulus III gjorde för att ta emot och hedra kejsar Karl V; och att hon dagligen festades av alla furstarna och stormännen. ...

Above: Kristina.

Above: Pope Alexander VII.
