Letter 1 - From Esther to Isabel

August 13, 1536

Dearest sister:

I start by apologizing, as I should have written sooner. Things are, though, quite chaotic here. It is with pain that I note that the old King has passed. He was a good and kind ruler, and a good father for me and my husband. We are in mourning now, and there is so much to be done... God help me, as I am not prepared to be queen consort. I shall support my husband as much as needed, though. For now, I must go. I shall write again.

Yours, always,

Esther

Letter 2 - Esther to Isabel

September 15, 1536

Dearest sister,

Thank you for being so understanding, and for the kind words. They are greatly appreciated. I wish with all my heart that I could have you and yours here. Kiss Cosimo for me, as I am too far away to do it myself as I would wish. And thank your husband and his father for the kind words, as they are a comfort for our saddened hearts. As for making a good Queen, may an angel bless your words, sister, as I barely know how to conduct myself with all those people coming to see us and present their condolences. I wish I had Father by my side. His sound advice would help me more than I can put in words. He cannot come, though. It seems that our Richard has been getting involved with bad companies. My heart breaks to think that I cannot be there to give our little brother sound advice. I have considered asking Father to send him over to be with me, but after what happened, I fear I will be unable to keep an eye on him and it may make things worse. I shall follow your advice and try to stay strong. I miss you with all my heart, but I am glad to know you are happy and safe, and I hope we may meet for Christmas celebrations, as things should have settled by then.

Yours, always and forever.

Esther

Letter 3 - Esther to Isabel

October 20, 1536

Dearest sister,

I am glad to know that you have given my adored nephew my kisses. I long to be able to give them myself. Fortunately, Christmas is not far. I look forward to it, as my most desired gift is your presence. I have been trying to listen to my heart, as you have told me to. I have had too much time to think, though, as I have come down with a mild fever and a bothersome headache. The Court physician said it is merely the tension of my new position, though, and recommended rest. I feel guilty, for I should be by my King's side, not resting in a dark room with one of my ladies constantly by my side. I am not even allowed to write, and have been forced to use the hand of one of my ladies in waiting, when I wish to write myself. As for Richard, I shall learn to see him as a young man, but for now, I still see him as a boy. Maybe we can convince father to allow him to stay here after Christmas, as things should have settled by then. Worry not about me, sister, as I am fine, only tired of being locked in here. Is there anything at all you want from here, sister? I wonder what I could send you to remind you of my love in a stronger fashion than my words. Oh. Apparently, I shall sit for the Court's artist to paint me. Can you imagine what a torture it will be for me to sit still for hours on end? Save me. I shall stop now, as my lady in waiting looks at me as though I am putting her through some terrible ordeal. She is very good and I do not wish to lose her, therefore I shall write more when I can do it myself, sister.

Yours, always,

Esther
