Young Warwick and John of Gloucester remain in the Tower. I have not seen them since they were taken from us since they are allowed few visitors, but others have, which prevents rumours from rising. It appears the Pretend-King is careful not to make his predecessor’s mistake. By ensuring it is publicly known that they are alive and in good health, he wards off pretenders. However, pretenders are bound to show up regardless of his efforts, claiming the identity of my poor brothers; it is merely a matter of time. What should I do then? True, I wish to see the regime toppled, the political clock turned back, but I do not know if I could support a boy who is nothing but an impersonator. A stranger telling the world he is Edward V, or Richard IV… The boy might be able to pretend, but I would not. No, my hope must rest with those actually of my own blood, my kinsmen. Preferably kinsmen with both maturity and freedom, and the choice is an obvious one.

I sit a good while clutching my goose pen before I take a deep breath and scribble the necessary lines on a sheet of paper. The letter is shorter than customary and my handwriting has not improved, but I dare not use a scribe. The words are dangerous, more dangerous even than my insinuation about witchcraft, and I can only imagine what would happen if the seal was broken by any other than the letter’s recipient. Women are rarely put on trial for treason, especially not young princesses, yet women rarely write what I have just written.
