English translation (my own):

Sir,
I arrived on the 26th of last month at court, and I found everyone, thank God, in good health. Having presented Your Highness's letters to Her Majesty and my sisters, the next day I did the same for the Steward and the Chancellor. ...
From Stockholm, October 3, 1640.
