The letter summary (I have corrected from where the month was mistakenly recorded as March):

... [Stockholm] d. 12 [April] 1653. — Chanut, som förr varit här 7 eller 8 år, skulle återkomma till Sverge; Kristina deröfver ganska glad. Frankrike hoppas fördel af Chanuts personliga insteg hos drottningen.

With modernised spelling:

... [Stockholm] den 12 [april] 1653. — Chanut, som förr varit här 7 eller 8 år, skulle återkomma till Sverige; Kristina däröver ganska glad. Frankrike hoppas fördel av Chanuts personliga insteg hos drottningen.

English translation (my own):

... Stockholm, [April] 12, 1653. — Chanut, who had previously been here 7 or 8 years, was to return to Sweden; Kristina is quite happy about it. France hopes to benefit from Chanut's personal approach to the Queen.

Above: Kristina.
