    &lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;FONT size=+1&gt;Letter from Anne Boleyn to Cardinal Thomas Wolsey&lt;br&gt; 
mid-summer 1528&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;This letter was written in the summer of 1528, as 
  indicated by its reference to the sweating sickness.&amp;nbsp; When a servant of 
  Anne's became infected at court, Henry VIII reluctantly sent her away to Hever 
  Castle.&amp;nbsp; Most of his famous love letters to Anne were written during this 
  period of forced separation.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;Anne did become ill, but 
  survived.&amp;nbsp; She wrote this letter to Wolsey in thanks for the gift and 
  letter he sent her while she was ill.&amp;nbsp; The great Cardinal and Anne have 
  often been placed at perpetual odds in history books, but in 1528 their 
  relationship was still amicable enough.&amp;nbsp; Anne and Henry both believed the 
  Cardinal would be able to secure Henry's annulment from Katharine of Aragon; 
  when he eventually failed, both were disillusioned - and Henry's 
  disillusionment led him to arrest his old friend.&amp;nbsp; Only Wolsey's natural 
  death saved him from certain execution.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;Wolsey was 
  pro-French and wanted to marry Henry VIII to a French princess when his first 
  marriage was annulled.&amp;nbsp; He was discomfited by the rise of Anne Boleyn, 
  and her many relatives.&amp;nbsp; Naturally enough, opposition to the Cardinal's 
  policies centered around the only other person who so completely dominated 
  Henry VIII's life - Anne herself.&amp;nbsp; In the beginning, both Anne and Wolsey 
  realized they could not afford to offend each other.&amp;nbsp; But just a year 
  after this letter was written, after the disastrous legatine hearing at 
  Blackfriars, Anne realized Wolsey could not secure the annulment.&amp;nbsp; And 
  she suspected, quite correctly, that he had never intended for her to marry 
  Henry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;FONT size=-1&gt;Wolsey had hoped the delays in securing the annulment would 
  outlast Henry's passion for Anne; he only later realized the annulment itself 
  would be impossible.&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;hr&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;My lord, &lt;BR&gt;In my most humble wise that my poor heart can 
    think, I do thank your grace for your kind letter, and for your rich and 
    goodly present, the which I shall never be able to deserve without your 
    help, of which I have hitherto had so great plenty, that all the days of my 
    life I am most bound of all creatures, next the king's grace, to love and 
    serve your grace, of the which I beseech you never to doubt that ever I 
    shall vary from this thought, as long as any breath is in my body.&amp;nbsp; And 
    as touching your grace's trouble with the sweat, I thank our Lord that them 
    I desired and prayed for are escaped; and that is the king's grace and you, 
    not doubting that God has preserved you both for great causes known alonely 
    of His high wisdom.&amp;nbsp; And as for the coming of the legate, I desire that 
    much.&amp;nbsp; And if it be God's pleasure, I pray him to send this matter 
    shortly to a good end; and then I trust, my lord, to recompense part of your 
    great pains.&amp;nbsp; In the which I must require you, in the mean time, to 
    accept my goodwill in the stead of the power; the which must proceed partly 
    from you, as our Lord knoweth, whom I beseech to send you long life, with 
    continuance in honor. Written by the hand of her that is most bound to be 
    your humble and obedient servant, &lt;BR&gt;Anne Boleyn.&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
