The letter summary:

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] 30 augusti 1651. ... Drottningen trött av det tunga regementet, vill resignera. — Om Salmasii och Freinshemii årliga pension. — Salmasius sjuk.

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, August 30, 1651. ... The Queen is tired of the heavy regiment, she wants to resign. — On Saumaise's and Freinsheim's annual pension. — Saumaise is ill.
