Dearest Duchess,

I have not heard from you in a while, I do hope everything is alright and your children continue to grow in to good people. Catherine is well.

Always your friend

Mary Boleyn

Dear Mary Boleyn,

I am well and so is my children, i have simply been busy is all. I have many things to tell you when i come to Hever whilst leaving my children back to Lancaster. I hope you and the child growing withen you is fine, also i am glad to hear Catherine is well.

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dear Mary Boleyn,

My two children have left court with their cousin, the Earl of Somerset. I feel i should visit you at Hever Castle soon when i go to leave to visit my children.
I write to ask if you are well, and how the little child inside you is doing. Is he or she growing well? I also have some devastating news to tell you but i cannot write it through letters incase it comes in the hand of the wrong person.

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dearest Duchess,

I am well, slightly bruised I fell off a horse a few days ago. The baby is well but still not showing any sign of it yet. I am currently with the physician to tell me what stage I am at.

Your dearest

Mary

Dear Mary,

You were riding a horse? This must be a sign to tell you that you should stop horse riding for the sake of your child. When you find out your stage you must tell me for i am excited to know, my two little ones have turned into such beautiful little monsters.

Your loving friend,

Jane Bassett.

Dearest Duchess,

I know but it gets lonely down here with you, William and the princess gone. I will tell you when I know.

Yours

Mary

Dear Mary,

Should i come visit now? I have nothing to do, the affairs of Lancaster have been taken from my hands and dealt with by the cousin of Jasper.

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dearest Grace,

You may visit when ever you wish I have the servants sort your chamber.

Mary

Dearest Duchess,

The physician as seen me I am 4 weeks gone.

I do hope you are well.

Your Friend

Mary

Dear Mary,

Only four weeks? You aren't that far along, but still congratulations! I wish you good health.

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dearest Duchess,

Thank you, I do hope that the months fly as I have not had a good start, We have arrived at our location I hope to return soon.

Your friend

Mary

Dear Mary,

Yes they certainly will! I also have very good news, my daughter is to be betrothed!

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dearest Duchess,

All ready she is still young am not even going to look till Catherine is 8 years old. Congrulations

Your friend

Mary

Dear Mary,

Elizabeth is eight and we thought it a perfect time before she is older, and of age and i thank you!

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

[ we moved it a few years forward hehehe:)]]

Dearest Duchess,

I do hope it goes well,

Your friend

Mary

[i have notice but as am a historical character am going by the main time line hence the reason am only 4 weeks pregnant and Catherine is 4]

Dearest Duchess,

I do hope you are well, I have finally started to show at last I can not wait for this baby to be born.

Yours

Mary

Dear Mary,

Oh that is wonderful! Do you have an instinct that it will be a boy or girl?

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dear Jane,

I do not know of yet but I hope for another girl,

yours

Mary

Dear Mary,

Hows about a boy? So you have both boy and girl, i think that would be a lovely happy family for you and William.

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dear Jane,

I find boys boring at least with girls you can dress them in pretty clothes and have more fun with them.

Yours dearest friend

Mary

Dear Mary,

I fear you are right, yet i have more to tell you. My health has been failing me these past few weeks and i have had to be bled a few times.

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dear Jane,

I do hope you be all right,

Yours

Mary

Dear Mary,

I have not heard from you in a while and i worry, i wish to know of how you are? Perhaps i should visit you in Hever and we can have a catch up?

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.

Dearest Jane,

I am very well thank you, sorry for not writing the children have been very ill. Am no longer at Hever but Whitehall.

Yours

Mary

Dear Mary,

Your children have been unwell? i am very sorry to hear that, i am in Lancaster still since my daughter Elizabeth is traveling.

Your loving friend,
Jane Bassett.
