The letter excerpt:

[London den 24 oktober 1655.]
... Dronning Cristina är nu fulle vid lag i Rom. Om hon kommer ibland de heliga, få vi se. ...
J. Ekeblad.

With more modernised spelling:

London, den 24 oktober 1655.
... Drottning Kristina är nu fuller vid lag i Rom. Om hon kommer ibland de heliga, få vi se. ...
J. Ekeblad.

French translation (my own):

Londres, le 24 octobre 1655.
... La reine Christine est maintenant certainement à Rome. Si elle vient à être parmi les saints, nous le verrons. ...
J. Ekeblad.

English translation (my own):

London, October 24, 1655.
... Queen Kristina is now certainly in Rome. If she comes to be among the saints, we'll see. ...

J. Ekeblad.

Above: Kristina.

Above: Johan Ekeblad.

Above: Christoffer Ekeblad.

Note: Johan was wrong; Kristina did not arrive in Rome until December 10/20 (New Style).

During his stay in England Johan started using the New Style dates that were used there.
