Excerpt and summary of Peder Vibe's letter to the government of Denmark in Copenhagen, dated August 22/September 1 (Old Style), 1640

Handlingar rörande Sverges historia, volume 1, page 77, published by Anders Fryxell, 1843

The letter summary:

... [Nyköping] den 22 Aug. 1640. Drottningen är melankolisk för moderns skull, ehuru hon visar sig glad; regeringen och kanslern öfver denna hennes sinnesstämning missnöjda. ...

With modernised spelling:

... [Nyköping], den 22 augusti 1640. Drottningen är melankolisk för moderns skull, ehuru hon visar sig glad; regeringen och kanslern över denna hennes sinnesstämning missnöjda. ...

English translation (my own):

... Nyköping, August 22, 1640. The Queen is melancholy for her mother, although she shows herself to be cheerful; the regency and the Chancellor are displeased at this her mood. ...
