The letter:

Paris, 15 October, 1656. [N. S.]

... The queen of Sweden went from Turin on the 28th of the last month, after she had admired the fortifications of the citadel, which she observed, and went afoot round the city. She visited the magazines of arms and garrisons, and spoke very advantageously of the said place. ...
