Henry VIII's love letters to Anne Boyleyn

Henry VIII wrote Anne Boleyn a collection of love letters. Anne Boleyn was the soon to be second wife after he fought many years with the Catholic Church to divorce his first wife Queen Katherine.  Here is an example of one of his many love letters to dear Anne Boleyn, written in February 1528-

DARLING, these shall be

only to advertise you that this

bearer and his fellow be despatched

with as many things to compass our

matter, and to bring it to pass as our

wits could imagine or devise; which

brought to pass, as I trust, by their

diligence, it shall be shortly, you and

I shall have our desired end, which

should be more to my heart’s ease,

and more quietness to my mind, than

any other thing in the world ; as, with

God’s grace, shortly I trust shall be

proved, but not so soon as I would

it were; yet I will ensure you that

there shall be no time lost that may

be won, and further can not be done;

for ultra posse non est esse*. Keep him

not too long with you, but desire

him, for your sake, to make the more

speed; for the sooner we shall have

word from him, the sooner shall our

matter come to pass. And thus upon

trust of your short repair to London,

I make an end of my letter, my own

sweet heart.

His letters were detailed yet simple and romantic.  Through his letters we can see that he truly had deep feelings for Anne, but we cannot forget the tragic ending to their affair when she was not able to bear him a son. We could even argue that King Henry just wanted something he couldn't have, and the chase made her more appealing to him but once he was able claim Anne as his queen and once she bears him a baby girl, he was so quick to end their affair. It makes me wonder if his feelings to Anne were truly sincere or just because she promised him she would bear him a son.
