Excerpt from Johan Ekeblad's letter to his father Christoffer Ekeblad, dated July 7/17 (Old Style), 1653

Johan Ekeblads bref 1: Från Kristinas och Cromwells hof, page 274, published by Nils Sjöberg, 1911


The letter excerpt:

Stokholm den 7 juli 1653.
... Dronningen håller sig ännu allt uppe vid Jakobsdaal, men man menar hon kommer i denna veckan in på slottet. ...
Joan Ekeblad.

With more modernised spelling:

Stockholm, den 7 juli 1653.
... Drottningen håller sig ännu allt uppe vid Jakobsdal, men man menar hon kommer i denna veckan in på slottet. ...
Johan Ekeblad.

French translation (my own):

Stockholm, le 7 juillet 1653.
... La reine reste toujours debout à Jacobsdal, mais on pense qu'elle viendra au château cette semaine. ...
Jean Ekeblad.

English translation (my own):

Stockholm, July 7, 1653.
... The Queen is still staying up at Jakobsdal, but it is believed that she will come to the castle this week. ...
Johan Ekeblad.
