Just days after this letter was written, Maria Eleonora gave birth... and if the legend is true, they thought it was a prince AT FIRST... but it was Kristina! But then Kristina WAS raised as a prince, at least the way she/he/they described it, plus she/he/they was probably intersex anyway, so they basically got half their wish in a way.

Kristina's account of her/his/their birth is here:

The letter excerpt:

... Belangande H. M:tt Dråttningen, så går H. M:tt alt ähnu uppe och ähr ingen dagh frij. Gudh förlähne H. M:tt en nådigste förlosningh och välsigne vårt fäderneslandh medh en ung prins.

English translation (my own):

... As for Her Majesty the Queen, she is still up and doesn't have a day of freedom. God give Her Majesty a good delivery and bless our Fatherland with a young prince!
