The letter excerpt:

Den 26de Febr. "Dronningen gav os en Bal i Søndags, hvor Frøken Leonora var med, uanset at hendes Mand var haardt syg; men hun meente at choquere os dermed. Han begynder nu at bedres." — "Dronningen vil have sit Hof illustre, og antager 12 Kammerpager, som skal være Greve- og Friherresønner, og fire Kammertienere af Adel. De tre ere Franzoser og en Svensk, som tilforn har været Kammerpage." — "Secretarius Lagerfeld reiste den 23de huj. herfra til England, at offerere Parlamentet Dronningens Mediation imellem begge Republiker." ...

With modernised spelling:

Den 26. februar. "Dronningen gav os en bal i søndags, hvor frøken Leonora var med, uanset at hendes mand var hårdt syg; men hun mente at chokere os dermed. Han begynder nu at bedres." — "Dronningen vil have sit hof illustre, og antager 12 kammerpager, som skal være greve- og friherresønner, og fire kammertjenere af adel. De tre ere fransoser og en svensk, som tilforn har været kammerpage." — "Secretarius Lagerfeldt rejste den 23. hujus herfra til England, at offerere Parlamentet dronningens mediation imellem begge republikker." ...

English translation (my own):

February 26. "The Queen gave us a ball on Sunday, at which Lady Leonora attended, notwithstanding that her husband was very ill; but she meant to shock us thereby. He is now beginning to improve." — "The Queen wants her court to be illustrious and assumes 12 chamberlains, who must be the sons of counts and barons, and four valets of nobility. There are three Frenchmen and one Swede, who had previously been chamberlain."  — "Secretary Lagerfeldt left here for England on the 23rd of this month to offer Parliament the Queen's mediation between both republics."
