Summary of Coenraad van Beuningen's letter to the government of the United Provinces in The Hague, dated May 21/31 (New Style), 1653

Handlingar rörande Sverges historia, volume 4, page 284, published by Anders Fryxell, 1843


The letter summary:

... [Stockholm] d. 31 Maj 1653. — Chanut skulle nu resa, visade sig nöjd med de försäkringar, han af Kristina hade fått; skulle öfver Lybeck, Nederland till Frankrike.

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] den 31 maj 1653. — Chanut skulle nu resa, visade sig nöjd med de försäkringar han av Kristina hade fått; skulle över Lübeck, Nederland till Frankrike.

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, May 31, 1653. — Chanut was now to travel, appeared satisfied with the assurances he had received from Kristina; was to travel via Lübeck and the Netherlands to France.
