The postscript:

11. Mag[gi]o. — Jo non hò mai dubitato, ne dubito della rottura trà Suezia, e Danemarca[.]

With modernised spelling:

11 maggio. —
Io non ho mai dubitato, nè dubito, della rottura tra Svezia e Danimarca.

Arckenholtz's transcript of the postscript (in his French translation from Italian):

Je n'ai jamais douté, & je ne doute pas à-présent, qu'il n'y ait une rupture entre la Suède & le Dannemarc.

Swedish translation (my own):

Jag har aldrig tvivlat på, och jag tvivlar inte nu, på att det var ett brott mellan Sverige och Danmark.

English translation (my own):

I have never doubted, and I don't doubt now, that there was a rupture between Sweden and Denmark.

French translation of the original (my own):

Le 11 mai. —
Je n'ai jamais douté, et je ne doute pas, de la rupture entre la Suède et le Danemark.

Danish translation of the original (my own):

Den 11. maj. —
Jeg har aldrig tvivlet på, og jeg tvivler heller ikke på bruddet mellem Sverige og Danmark.

Swedish translation of the original (my own):

Den 11 maj. —
Jag har aldrig tvivlat på och tvivlar inte heller på brottet mellan Sverige och Danmark.

English translation of the original (my own):

May 11. —
I have never doubted, nor do I doubt, the rupture between Sweden and Denmark.
