The letter:

Brussels, 18 Sept. 1655. [N. S.]

... The queen of Sweden was to depart to-day, but she doth not go now till tuesday next. It is said here (but privately) that the queen is a catholic.

With modernised spelling:

Brussels, 18 September 1655. [N. S.]

... The Queen of Sweden was to depart today, but she doth not go now till Tuesday next. It is said here (but privately) that the Queen is a Catholic.

Reconstruction of the French original (my own translation):

Bruxelles, le 18 septembre 1655. [Nouveau style.]

... La reine de Suède devait partir aujourd'hui, mais elle ne partira que mardi prochain. On dit ici (mais en privé) que la reine est catholique.

Swedish translation (my own):

Bryssel, den 18 september 1655. [Nya stilen.]

... Sveriges drottning skulle avresa idag, men hon reser inte förrän nästa tisdag. Det sägs här (men i hemlighet) att drottningen är katolik.

Above: Kristina.
