Excerpt from Letters and Papers, Foreign and Domestic, of the Reign of Henry VIII, Vol. 10: Preserved in the Public Record Office, the British Museum, and Elsewhere in England; Jan.-July, 1536 She had been troubled with sickness and a pain in the stomach, which had made it impossible for her for some days to eat or to retain her food;i and when the ambassador came she had not slept two hours during the previous Six days. She was so wasted and worn out that she could neither stand nor sit in bed. But the ambassador's arrival seems to have acted upon her like medicine; and during the four days he staid with her, though he often desired to shorten the inter views for fear of wearying her, not only did she listen to his conversation for about two hours each day, but she slept and ate better than she had done before. In fact she was so much better that her physician con sidered her out of immediate danger, and agreed with Katharine herself in thinking it advisable Chapuys should return to London, so as not to abuse the licence the King had given him.
