Dear Elizabeth,
I understand your decision, I must apologise for my error in courtship with Bessy. You were beautiful...magnificent and I turned from you, though I fear this was destined to be. For your love was for your country and you are enamoured with it.
Our trysts were committed in secret; it drove me wild, as it would with any man. My vexations were worsened when you teased me in front of others. Pray, I must confess, I acted in great dishonour.
I should have shown you more loyalty, given you my favour and then waited until you were ready.
Now, I fear I may have lost your trust and love forever. I pray that you allow me an opportunity to once more; gain your trust, love and loyalty.
All the best my love...I hope your reign continues to be as prosperous as you deserve it to be, a triumphant monarch ensuring her place in history.
I once more plead for your mercy and forgiveness my Queen, the ruler of my heart.
Regards,
Sir Walter Raleigh.
