French translation (my own):

... Et comme Sa Majesté la reine-douairière Marie-Éléonore était attendue de Berlin en Poméranie, toute la noblesse, ainsi que tous les serviteurs royaux, furent mobilisés pour rencontrer et accompagner Sa Majesté.

Le colonel [Conrad Mardefelt] a donc aussi voyagé le 11 octobre de Demmin à Tribsees, 5 miles. Le 12 à Damgarten, 4 miles, où Sa Majesté est arrivée le 13; elle a été honorée et accueillie par une salve de coups de feu et autres. Le 14, le voyage s'est poursuivi jusqu'à Richtenberg et Franzbourg, 5 miles. Le 15 à Greifswald, 5 miles. Le 18 à Anklam, 3 miles. Le 20 à Ueckermünde, 5 miles. Le 21 à Mützelbourg, 3 miles. Le 22, Sa Majesté est arrivée à Stetin, 4 miles. ...

English translation (my own):

... And as Her Majesty the Dowager Queen Maria Eleonora was expected to come from Berlin to Pomerania, so the entire nobility, along with all royal servants, was mobilised to meet and accompany Her Majesty.

Colonel [Conrad Mardefelt] therefore also traveled on October 11 from Demmin to Tribsees, 5 miles. On the 12th to Damgarten, 4 miles, where Her Majesty arrived on the 13th; she was honoured and received with a salvo shooting and suchlike.
