The letter summary:

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] 5 december 1649. Kristina missnöjd med redemptionstraktaten. — Kristina hade av Moltken köpt Toitenwinkel i Mecklenburg att der fundera en fästning. ...

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, December 5, 1649. Kristina is dissatisfied with the redemption treaty. — Kristina had bought Toitenwinkel in Mecklenburg from Moltken to build a fortress there.
