... De gode herrer i Sverige haver endnu ingen årsag til at tænke på nogen revanche på mig, førend jeg får beskeden på det brev, enkedronningen angår.

French translation (my own):

... Les bons seigneurs de Suède n'ont aucune raison de songer à se venger de moi tant que je n'aurai pas reçu d'informations sur la lettre concernant la reine douairière.

De Haderslevhus, le 21 août 1641.

Christian.

English translation (my own):

... The good lords in Sweden have no reason yet to think of any revenge on me until I receive information about the letter concerning the Dowager Queen.

From Haderslevhus, August 21, 1641.

Christian.
