The report:
Rome, June 28. The Pope enjoys his health beyond all expectation, his complexion and method of living showing him to be more vigourous then those of his age use to be ...
The Pope seems fully reconciled to Queen Christina, and as a testimony thereof, gave her a formal visit on Sunday last, who to show her respects, caused all her servants to quit her Palace to give the entire possession thereof to the Popes Guards and Officers: the Queen received him at the bottom of the stairs, where she humbly kissed the Popes feet, attending him into her apartment, where their conversation lasted a considerable time with mutual kindness and civility. The Queen seems now inclinable to continue her abode in Rome, and hopes to be restored to the Pension which she received from the former Pope. The Thursday following she returned the visit to the Pope in the Quirinal, where she was civilly received and with as much kindness as she could receive.
