Postscript from Kristina's letter to Manuel Texeira, dated November 24 and December 15, 1674

Source:

Mémoires concernant Christine, reine de Suède, volume 3, page 481, compiled and edited by Johan Arckenholtz, 1759


The postscript:

Je suis d'opinion que le Dannemarc trompera les nouveaux Alliés, (la Suède & la France) mais pas ses anciens Alliés; & je crois que je ne me tromperai pas.

Swedish translation (my own):

Jag är av den åsikten att Danmark kommer att lura de nya allierade, men inte sina gamla allierade; och jag tror att jag inte kommer att ta fel.

English translation (my own):

I am of the opinion that Denmark will deceive the new allies, but not its old allies; and I believe that I will not be mistaken.


Above: Kristina.
