Excerpt from Gui Patin's letter to Charles Spon, dated November 2/12 (New Style), 1654

Sources:

Lettres choisies du feu M. Guy Patin, volume 5, page 116, published by Reinier Leers, 1725


Lettres de Gui Patin, volume 1, page 214, Gui Patin, published by J. B. Ballière, 1846



The letter excerpt:

... La Reine de Suéde est à Anvers. ...
De Paris ce 12. de Novembre 1654.

Ballière's transcript of the letter excerpt (he misread the date as November 6):

... La reine de Suède est à Anvers. ...
De Paris, ce [6] de novembre 1654.

Swedish translation (my own):

... Drottningen av Sverige är i Antwerpen. ...
Från Paris, den 12 november 1654.

English translation (my own):

... The Queen of Sweden is in Antwerp. ...
From Paris, this November 12, 1654.
