Hi Cynthia,
I'm sorry but I'm having memory issues these days. My meds are
really making merry hell with it. I do know that this tidbit has
come up on this list before, so rather than depending a memory that
better resembles swiss cheese at the moment, you would better off
searching the archives. I do know that this is a huge undertaking
but I'm not sure what else to suggest. It is driving me nuts because
I do know it is Anne Boleyn, and it was a Court Document - and it was
one that costumers normally dig into... I feel like it is on the tip
of my tongue sort of thing... Spanish Ambassadorial letters? Hmmm,
I will keep thinking about it but I'm sorry I can't be more help at
the moment. I'll ask my apprentice and see if she remembers, I seem
to remember talking to her about it.
Cheers,
Danielle

Danielle,
This is very cool. Did you have anymore stray thoughts about where
you might have seen or read this? For many of us "early" sorts,
pockets can be a mild obsession.
