I want to read the correspondence between Thomas Boleyn & Margaret of Austria, relating to Anne. It is easy to find the letter she wrote to him, but i am having a much harder time finding his letter to her requesting Anne to leave her service. I also would be very interested to read the full letter/statement found in Cromwell’s papers from ’36 where he mentions ‘every year my wife brought me a child’ and the few other sentences of his poor status, but there never is anything more- as if that’s just a snippet from a larger letter.

I’m hoping some other Tudorphiles could help me with this. I’ve searched online, & excluding Strickland & Warnicke the majority of the other “go to” Tudor biographies I have already read (though not at the time specifically looking for that information, so it’s possible I just don’t remember), but I’m pretty sure that I’ve not come across a full account of the existing letters written by Thomas Boleyn?
