Maria I al Emperador.

London,

I am sending to Flanders my dear and well-beloved, Lord Paget of 5 November Beaudesert, Knight of my Order, and Mr. Edward Hastings, Knight, my Master of the Horse, both members of my Privy Council, to make known my and the King, my husband's, good pleasure touching the coming hither of my cousin, Cardinal Pole, and to accompany him to England. I have instructed them to visit your Majesty and acquaint you with the circumstances of the Cardinal's mission. I beg you to give them credence and allow them to benefit by your good advice.
