| 32 | <p><FONT size=-1><b>Background<br></b>I have included this letter, which refers to the
|
|---|
| 33 | wardship of a member of the Pointz family, simply because it is the typical
|
|---|
| 34 | sort of letter Anne would have written as queen of England. Anne had
|
|---|
| 35 | been granted the lucrative wardship of the Pointz heir by Henry VIII, but one
|
|---|
| 36 | of Cromwell's associates interfered with it. In this letter, Anne asks
|
|---|
| 37 | for Cromwell's help in resolving the matter.</FONT> </p>

| 39 | <p>Master Secretary, I pray you despatch with speed this matter,
|
|---|
| 40 | for mine honor lies much on it, and what should the king's attorney do with
|
|---|
| 41 | Pointz's obligation, since I have the child by the king's grace's gift, but
|
|---|
| 42 | only to trouble him hereafter, which by no means I will suffer, and thus
|
|---|
| 43 | fare you as well as I would ye did. <BR>Your loving mistress, <BR>Anne the
|
|---|
| 44 | Queen.</p>
