tiny-librarian:Photographs of the actual letter written to Mary I by her sister Elizabeth in 1554, held in the National Archives. It was written when Elizabeth had been imprisoned in the Tower under suspicion of being involved in Wyatt’s rebellion.She famously added the slashes all down the remainder of the second page before signing it, so that no one else would be able to add anything else to it before it reached Mary’s hands.(I found this on a blog and had to share. It’s just really amazing to me to see pictures of the actual object itself!)Source -- source link
