The letter:
The queen of Sweden is returned back againe for Rome; the difficulties touching her revenus being made up, as she gives out. The truth is, her complement is finished, and her scope wholy choaked by a sudden retort, receaved it as an absolute answere, and so tooke her leave with adieu. ...
Noble sir,
Your honor's most devoted
and humble servant,
TH. GEO.
Bridges, the 6th Oct. 1656. [N. S.]
With modernised spelling:
The Queen of Sweden is returned back again for Rome; the difficulties touching her revenues being made up, as she gives out. The truth is, her compliment is finished, and her scope wholly choked by a sudden retort, received it as an absolute answer, and so took her leave with adieu. ...
Noble Sir,
Your Honour's most devoted
and humble servant,
Thomas George.
Bridges, the 6th October 1656. [New Style.]
French translation (my own):
La reine de Suède est de nouveau renvoyée pour Rome; les difficultés touchant ses revenus étant compensées, comme qu'elle dit. La vérité est que son compliment est terminé, et sa portée entièrement étouffée par une réplique soudaine, l'a reçue comme une réponse absolue, et l'a donc quittée avec adieu. ...
Noble Monsieur,
Le très dévoué et très humble serviteur de Votre Honneur,
Thomas Georges.
Bridges, le 6 octobre 1656. [Nouveau style.]
Swedish translation (my own):
Drottningen av Sverige återförs tillbaka till Rom; svårigheterna rörande hennes intäkter kompenseras, som hon ger ut. Sanningen är att hennes komplimang är slut, och hennes omfång helt kvävd av en plötslig replik, hon fick det som ett absolut svar, och tog därför avsked från henne med adieu. ...
Ädle herre,
Er hängivnaste
och ödmjukaste tjänare,
Thomas George.
Bridges, den 6 oktober 1656. [Ny stil.]
