Excerpt from Peder Juel's letter to Peder Charisius, dated August 6/16 (Old Style), 1653

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 354 (footnote), published by Den Danske Historiske Forening, 1844
The letter excerpt:

... Mr. Böning venter med Længsel efter Vossium, i Forhaabning at blive ved ham vel stabileret i Dronningens Gunst; men jeg frygter, at han sig ogsaa derudi bedrager.

With modernised spelling:

... Monsieur Beuning venter med længsel efter Vossium, i forhåbning at blive ved ham vel stabileret i dronningens gunst; men jeg frygter, at han sig også derudi bedrager.

English translation (my own):

... Mr. Beuning waits longingly for Vossius, hoping to remain well stabilised in the Queen's favour by him; but I fear that he is fooling himself there.
