Excerpt and summary of Peder Vibe's letter to the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, dated August 1/11 (Old Style), 1640

Handlingar rörande Sverges historia, volume 1, page 75, published by Anders Fryxell, 1836
The letter summary:

... [Nyköping] den 1 Aug. 1640. ... Enkedrottningen har rymt från Gripsholm, som man tror åt Danmark.

With modernised spelling:

... [Nyköping], den 1 augusti 1640. ... Änkedrottningen har rymt från Gripsholm, som man tror åt Danmark.

English translation (my own):

... Nyköping, August 1, 1640. ... The Dowager Queen has escaped from Gripsholm, as one believes, to Denmark.
