The letter excerpt:
... Ad illustriss. Puteanum differo in diem, immo in horas scribere: promitto tamen te proxime habiturum: nam festino stans pede in uno, & paratus ad iter in Geldriam & propinqua divortiis Rheni, inde in Hollandiam, ubi ante omnia salutabo Vossium nostrum, & intelligam, quo numime laeso exciderit gratia dominae non Reginae, sed Gallinae. ... Daventriae XI. Kal. Apriles. CIϽIϽCLII. statim acceptis tuis, quas III. Non. Feb. dederas.
With modernised spelling:
... Ad illustrisissimum Puteanum differo in diem, immo in horas scribere; promitto tamen te proxime habiturum; nam festino stans pede in uno, et paratus ad iter in Geldriam et propinqua divortiis Rheni, inde in Hollandiam, ubi ante omnia salutabo Vossium nostrum, et intelligam, quo numime læso exciderit gratia dominæ non reginæ, sed Gallinæ. ... Daventriæ, XI Kalendæ apriles 1652.
Statim acceptis tuis, quas III nones februarii dederas.
French translation (my own):
... Au illustrissime del Pozzo, j'ai retardé l'écriture d'un jour, non, de plusieurs heures; je promets cependant qu'il vous gardera près de vous; car, debout à la hâte sur un pied, et prêt à voyager en Gueldre et près des gués du Rhin, de là en Hollande, où avant tout je saluerai notre Vossius et comprendrai par quel tort la grâce de Madame, non de la reine, mais de France, est tombée. ... Deventer, le 11e calende d'avril 1652.
Immédiatement après, j'ai reçu votre lettre du 3e nones février.
Swedish translation (my own):
... Till den mest berömde del Pozzo skjuter jag upp skrivandet en dag, nej, i timmar; jag lovar dock att han kommer att hålla Er nära; ty, stående hastigt på ena foten och redo att resa till Gelderland och nära Rhens vadställen, därifrån till Holland, där jag före allt kommer att hälsa vår Vossius och förstå med vilken skada Fruns nåd, inte av drottningen, men av Frankrike, har fallit. ... Deventer, den 11 kalends april 1652.
Omedelbart efter detta mottog jag Ert brev av den 3 nones i februari.
English translation (my own):
... To the most illustrious del Pozzo I put off writing for a day, no, for hours; I promise, however, that he will keep you close; for, standing hastily on one foot, and ready to travel to Gelderland, and near the fords of the Rhine, from thence to Holland, where before all things I will salute our Vossius and understand by what injury the grace of the Lady, not of the Queen, but of France, has fallen. ... Deventer, the 11th Kalends of April 1652.
Immediately after this I received your letter of the 3rd Nones of February.
Notes: Cassiano del Pozzo was an Italian scholar and patron of arts.
Vossius = Isaac Vossius.
The 11th Kalends of April = March 22.
The 3rd Nones of February = February 8.
