Dearest Brother,
How goes things in Lancaster? I hope you all are well, Scotland is lovely though it sometimes is very lonely and quiet no matter whom is around. I miss your childish antics that you would always have when a child and even now, everything is so different down here. I have a study and well many ladies in waiting because i am of course now a Princess, but i have remembered in my days not to become too proud nor vain as you, mother and John would be disappointed in me. There is so much to tell you, but there is so little time, may i ask if mother is improving? I was asked if i wished to come back to Lancaster by my maids but i told them my duties are in Scotland.
I hope i should hear from you soon for your words will bring light into my day, and please tell mother and John i asked off them.
Also Edward and i have agreed that we will name our first born son Jasper.
Signed, Your Loving Sister Elizabeth Crawley.
William Herbert Earl of Pembroke

My Dearest Sister,
How I miss you and your goings about around Greenhalgh. How strange I feel it is to be apart from you, for we have never been separated longer than a day or so. I am more happy than I can say that you are enjoying Scotland and I am glad that you did not need to use my dagger.
Therefore I must also apologise for my state on your first day of marriage. John and I had been too merry the previous evening and he is subsequently confined to his chambers with a cold.
Mother is insistent that she is well and continues to tell me it is nothing. I promise I'll keep her in the best of care.
I think also to return to court and visit father, I am sure he will be so proud of you.
Always be assured of our love...a wedding present from me is on it's way as we speak,
Edmund

My Dearest Brother,
It makes me so happy to read your words that was written especially from you, Edward is fussing on if changes need to be done to the castle to make me more happy but the castle is lovely and perfect, the only changes id make is the furniture really and maybe the gardens. Maybe you will be married next, who knows. Hopefully you will give me lots of nieces and nephews to run around after, and also you are invited to come visit me in Scotland whenever you see fit. Would you give father a kiss from me, please? I would do it myself if i was in England but seeing as i am not, and please do keep mother in your care for i do not want to be an orphan so soon.
Thankyou also for the gift, i am sure it is lovely.
Your Loving Sister, Elizabeth Crawley.

Dear Brother,
I have good news, we have married into royalty without knowing. My husband is the son of the King of Scotland's father, meaning he is actually a Prince of Scotland meaning both our titles will be changed to Prince and Princess of Scotland i think. We also have more news, the doctors have confirmed that i could be with child but we have to wait a month, tell me of you brother, i miss you so much i wish you would come to see me as i cannot travel as the Prince William is coming to visit us.
Your Loving Sister, Elizabeth Crawley.

Dear Brother,
I do not know how i feel about married life now, my husband keeps wandering off every since he found out about his true parentage and all i have for company is my ladies and the servants yet i miss him, this is now again the second eve i have gone without him.
Please do travel to see me for i would be glad to see you as i told you, it is lonely down here.
Your Loving Sister, Elizabeth Crawley.

Dearest brother,
It seems i miss your presence the most, i haven't seen you since you left Lancaster on orders of Edward and i worry if you are alright. I have returned to court, but soon i am going to either return to Thornbury or to Cawdor, i think Cawdor as i wish to see my daughter Mary. I would like it if you replied as i haven't heard from you, i miss you Edmund, more than what you can possibly imagine., How is John? I also have not heard from him since i left Lancaster..
Her Grace, Marquess of Lancaster Elizabeth Crawley.
