The Betrothal Question

Private Correspondence for the attention of Juan of Austria

My lord Juan,

my mind ist now full made up upon the matter and for my part in this I am full pleased with the idea of our match.

If it pleases thee to go ahead with our proposed betrothal it would wish to make formal announcement as such as soon as possible so as to have the support of mine councillors and court afore they canst consider any objections and are still shocked by mine decision.

As this is a most weighty matter for both our futures I shalt leave the final decision on whether we progress now to thee.

Whatever thine decision I shalt remain always thine affectionate friend and supporter,

Eliz R.

My most beloved lady and Queen,

Never has a letter brought me such pleasure as this I have received from your hand. I am filled with joy at your decision, and am, as always, in utmost agreement.

As to the issue of how to proclaim news of our match, I bow to your superior knowledge of your subjects and their whims.

As ever your servant,
Juan de Austria
