Peder Juel's letter of the same day to Peder Charisius is here:
Johan Ekeblad's letter of July 29/August 8 (Old Style) to his father Christoffer Ekeblad is here:
The letter summary:

... [Stockholm] 26 Juli 1651. Ringränning och balett hade varit på sista Kristinadag. — Något förut hade drottningen varit illamående. ...

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] 26 juli 1651. Ringränning och balett hade varit på sista Kristinadag. — Något förut hade drottningen varit illamående. ...

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, July 26, 1651. There had been a ring race and a ballet on the last Kristina day. — The Queen had been indisposed a little earlier. ...
