With modernised spelling:

Käre bror,

English translation (my own):

Dear brother,

... I do not know anything particularly new except that Her Majesty has been at Jakobsdal since she was at Nyköping and is having something done in her chambers here at the castle. ...

Note: Jakobsdal = the former name of Ulriksdal Castle. At the beginning of 1653 Magnus de la Gardie gave it to Kristina, and in the beginning of 1654 she/he/they gave it back to him.
