The letter:

It is certainly resolved, that some forces shall be sent from hence to Naples by sea; and it is as sure (they say) that the queene of Swede shall be generalissimo of all the army, and the duke of Guise be general, who hath so greate a kindness and regard for her, that many are of opinion, it will prove a match; but I beleeve shee flies higher.
