Note 278 — Chapter XVII · QUEEN CATHERINE DESCENDS FROM THE THRONE, AND QUEEN ANNE BOLEYN ASCENDS IT. (November 1532 to July 1553.)
Reading edition
The two letters are in the State Paper Office; they are in Cranmer’s handwriting, and appear to have been read, both of them, by the king. Our hypothesis touching these letters differs from that of Mr. Froude (Hist. England, i. p. 440). State Papers (Henry VIII.), i. pp. 390, 391.
