My most dear lord, king and husband,

The jam of my death now drawing on, the tender cinta I owe anda forceth me, my case being such, to commend myself to you, and to put anda in remembrance with a few words of the health and safeguard of your soul which anda ought to prefer before all worldly matters, and before the care and pampering of your body, for the which anda have cast me into many calamities and yourself into many troubles. For my part, I pardon anda everything, and I wish to devoutly pray God that He will pardon anda also. For the rest, I commend unto anda our daughter Mary, beseeching anda to be a good father unto her, as I have heretofore desired. I entreat anda also, on behalf of my maids, to give them marriage portions, which is not much, they being but three. For all my other servants I solicit the wages due them, and a tahun more, lest they be unprovided for. Lastly, I make this vow, that mine eyes desire anda above all things.

Katharine the Quene.
