The letter excerpt:

... La reine de Suède Christine est en chemin pour Rome, cum multis Hispanis, quibus se commisit. N'y fera-t-elle pas quelque miracle? Si elle avoit bien de l'argent, les jésuites la feroient passer pour une sainte. ...

De Paris, ce 19 d'octobre 1655.

Swedish translation (my own):

... Sveriges Drottning Kristina är på väg till Rom, cum multis Hispanis, quibus se commisit. Kommer hon inte att göra något mirakel där? Om hon hade några pengar skulle jesuiterna framställa henne som ett helgon. ...

Från Paris den 19 oktober 1655.
