 This undated letter is placed at the end of July 1540 in Letters and Papers of the Reign of Henry VIII.It is possible that it was written while Thomas Cromwell was imprisoned in the Tower, as Elizabeth refers to her father-in-law, and not her "late" father-in-law.Moreover, it was customary at that time to write "may his soul God pardon" or something similar when referring to someone who had recently died, which she did not do.
