Bidrag til Dronning Christinas, det svenske Hofs og Corfitz Ulfeldts Historie, i Aarene 1651-1655, af Peder Juul's utrykte Breve til Charisius, article by Christian Molbech in Historisk tidsskrift, volume 5, page 322, published by Den Danske Historiske Forening, 1844


The letter excerpt:

... Dronningen har havt mange Bud efter Cantsleren, som er paa Landet, og malcontent for de Forandringer, Gr. Magni Consilia her have indført, ham uafvidendes, helst i Cancellie-Væsendet; och troer jeg vist, at naar han kommer hid, en stor Deel gaaer tilbage af det, som er resolveret. ...

With modernised spelling:

... Dronningen har haft mange bud efter kansleren, som er på landet og malkontent for de forandringer, grev Magni consilia her have indført, ham uafvidendes, helst i kancellivæsendet; och tror jeg vist, at når han kommer hid, en stor del går tilbage af det, som er resolveret. ...

English translation (my own):

... The Queen has had many messages for the Chancellor, who is in the countryside and malcontent about the changes that Count Magnus' advice has introduced here, unbeknownst to him, preferably in the Chancellery; and I think that when he comes here, a large part of what has been resolved will go back. ...
