The letter excerpt:

Den 23de April. "Dronningen er meget vred, at hun er saaledes i Holland udraabt; hun har talt med Mr. Böning derom, og graveret sig over Mr. Kayser, Borgermester af Horn, at han sligt causerer. Duræus haver hidskrevet, at Parlamentet vil unde Holland Fred; men Danmark skulde betale Arresten, giort paa de engelske Skibe, og Parlementet agtede ikke meget, hverken Sverriges alliance eller assistence, efterdi de kunde ikke have stor Nytte deraf. — Den fransøske Ambassadeur Chanut er hidkommen; men drog uden nogen Ceremonier ind. — Hr. C. Ulfeldt vil retirere sig til Riga, at boe, og søge at cureres der. Radziejowski drager ogsaa malcontent bort; han vil holde sig oppe i Holland eller England."

With modernised spelling:

Den 23. april. "Dronningen er meget vred, at hun er således i Holland udråbt; hun har talt med monsieur Beuning derom, og graveret sig over monsieur Kayser, borgermester af Hoorn, at han sligt kauserer. Duræus haver hidskrevet, at Parlamentet vil unde Holland fred; men Danmark skulle betale arresten, gjort på de engelske skibe, og Parlementet agtede ikke meget, hverken Sveriges alliance eller assistance, efterdi de kunne ikke have stor nytte deraf. — Den fransøske ambassadeur Chanut er hidkommen; men drog uden nogen ceremonier ind. — Hr. C. Ulfeldt vil retirere sig til Riga, at bo, og søge at kureres der. Radziejowski drager også malkontent bort; han vil holde sig oppe i Holland eller England."

English translation (my own):

April 23. "The Queen is very angry that she has been thus brought into a bad reputation in Holland; she has spoken to Lord Beuning about it and complained to Lord Kayser, the mayor of Hoorn, that he causes such things. Duræus has written here that Parliament wants peace in Holland; but Denmark was to pay the arrest made on the English ships, and the Parliament did not regard much either Sweden's alliance or assistance, as they could not derive much benefit from it. — The French ambassador Chanut has arrived; but entered without any ceremonies. — Lord C. Ulfeldt wants to retire to Riga, to live and seek to be cured there. Radziejowski also goes away malcontent; he wants to stay in Holland or England."
