Letter Eighth Anne Boleyn To Wolsey


MY LORD, in my most humblest wise that my heart can think, I desire you

to pardon me that I am so bold to trouble you with my simple and rude

writing, esteeming it to proceed from her that is much desirous to know

that your grace does well, as I perceive by this bearer that you do, the

which I pray God long to continue, as I am most bound to pray; for I do

know the great pains and troubles that you have taken for me both day and
/>
night is never likely to be recompensed on my part, but alonely in loving

you, next unto the king's grace, above all creatures living. And I do not

doubt but the daily proofs of my deeds shall manifestly declare and affirm

my writing to be true, and I do trust you do think the same.



My lord, I do assure you, I do long to hear from you news of the legate;

for I do hope, as they come from you, they shall be very good; and I am

sure you desire it as much as I, and more, an it were possible; as I know

it is not: and thus remaining in a steadfast hope, I make an end of my

letter.



Written with the hand of her that is most bound to be



Your humble Servant,



ANNE BOLEYN.
