My dear mistress Joan,
For the things you lack, I have a mind to provide. You told me - upon marriage - you may remove ecclesiastical dress and there upon return to that which you were once admired for. Allow these fabrics to be fashioned for you, wear them in remembrance of my affections and with my assured protection of your virtue and honour.
I lately wrote to my father with information of our meeting. I presently am now informed he has received my note and his reply will swiftly be dispatched.
I bid you never be too uneasy at our absence; for wherever I am, I am yours.
Thus hoping, shortly to receive you in these arms, I end for the present,
Anthony

My dear intended,
I cannot express my hearts joy upon receiving your letter. I am glad that you shall think of me when we are apart, but I doubt you shall pine for me as much as I will you. The fabrics you so graciously sent me are now being fashioned into esquite dresses. I will admit that I shall still cover thy cleveage fully as only my future husband can cast eye's upon them. Somethings must be kept sacred and secret and not so easily cast around. I to shall stay loyal to you until our hearts next meeting. Our marriage may be planned for us but together we can choose our paths of martial bliss. I carry your heart with mine.
Humbly yours, Joan.

My dear mistress,
I surrender myself into your hands, and commend you to hold me in in your favour. Your goodness little strays from my mind - which holds you in greater esteem than any other.
Name where we may meet again and when, until then, my heart is much bound to you.
Written by the hand of him who would willingly remain yours,
Anthony

Dear Anthony,
I shall meet you as soon as you have read this letter. Be rest assured that I do solemnly trust you and I am yours. I am not entirely all good which you shall find out in time. Meet me at the Daffodil lake where I long to here you say such words to my face.
Yours
Joan.

Mistress Joan,
It may please you to be informed that I have left Chavenage. The servants will naturally remain and I have taken the liberty of employing one of my friends, a local landowner - for the duration of your stay - to keep guard of you and the home. You will be quite safe despite how remote the estate is.
I cannot understand how you could be so fickle with your heart but I will not plead for your affections any longer. You know my feelings now as I expressed them plainly.
I am leaving now for Whitehall and shall stay in court for the foreseeable future. The ring remains in Chavenage with it's owner, keep it as some remembrance of me.
Still yours,
Anthony

Master Denny,
How would you know if my heart is fickle? I can assure you that it is not despite our last meeting. However, it feels wrong to stay in a home that is not mine. How can a person expect me to stay in a home where every thing reminds me of you.
I implore you to come back to Cornwall,
Joan.

Mistress Joan,
I brought you to my home to marry you - alas you decided with no warning or adequate explanation that you had no affection or loyalty to me. I will not return to linger in my humiliation, that I now must - alone - endure. Thus, my place is in court now.
Be assured that - against better judgement and logic - my affections for you are not diminished, not in the least, as much as it grieves me to admit it. My heart remains yours. As such, so is my wealth and my home.
You know where to find me if you decide to return,
Anthony
