Summary of Peder Vibe's letter to Christoffer Urne, the Grand Chancellor of Denmark, and the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, dated November 13/23 (Old Style), 1652

The letter summary:

... [Stockholm] 13 Nov. 1652. B. Skytte för kanslerns skull i arrest i sina rum, disput med kanslern. — Orsaken till den "beviste" persons frånvarelse. — C. Ulfeld "to sölftaffler" af gr. Magnus.

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] 13 november 1652. Bengt Skytte för kanslerns skull i arrest i sina rum, dispyt med kanslern. — Orsaken till den "beviste" persons frånvarelse. — Corfitz Ulfeldt "to sølvtaffler" af greve Magnus.

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, November 13, 1652. Bengt Skytte is, for the Chancellor's sake, under arrest in his rooms, dispute with the Chancellor. — The reason for the "proven" person's absence. — Corfitz Ulfeldt [has received] "two silver tables" from Count Magnus.
