The letter:

The queen of Sweden is hastening to Rome, where she will reside, and endeavour to reconcile by her means the two crowns of France and Spain. ...

The plague, which is at present at Rome, will cause the queen Christina to retire to Venice till such time that Rome is freed of that disease.


Above: Kristina.
