Margaret Of Savoy to Henry VIII.
I have received your gracious letters sent me by Master Jehan
de le Sauch and, more recently, by my secretary des Barres, and
I wish to thank you for the love and cordial friendship which you
continue to show toward the king, my lord and nephew, your good
brother and nephew.
I have heard by my secretary the reasons why you prefer the
port of Southampton to the Isle of Wight, which I had chosen for
your interview with my nephew. I am happy to agree to the
change in order to please you and to avoid delay. My only
desire is to arrange matters for the good of both your majesties,
and I undertake that the king, my nephew, will ratify my agreement.
Please give credence to the bearer, Jehan de le Sauch, who
returns to you expressly for the arrangement of this matter.

Margaret Of Savoy to Queen Catherine.
Madam : I have received your letter entrusted to the bearer of
this, Jehan de le Sauch and also that brought by my secretary,
des Barres. By what my secretary tells me I understand that
the king and you prefer the interview between the king of
England and the king, my nephew, should not be at Wight but
rather at Southampton. Since it is my wish to leave nothing
undone on the part of my nephew, and since I seek only to arrange
matters for the good of both their majesties, I am willing to accept
the rendezvous at Southampton and undertake that my nephew
will ratify my acceptance. Therefore I have sent him a special
courier, as the king and you may learn more fully from the
bearer. I beg you to give credence in this negotiation to our
ambassador, and to Master Jehan de le Sauch.

Margaret Of Savoy to Wolsey.
I am sending back the bearer of this, Jehan de le Sauch, for
the reasons which you may learn from him and from the ambassador.
I assure you that I wish my nephew not to fail the
arrangements in any respect, and I have therefore decided to
agree to changing the place of the interview from Wight to Southampton,
or wherever you advise, and I undertake that the king,
my nephew, will ratify this change.
His majesty and I have always had complete confidence in
you, and I have good hope that he will soon show you that he is
not an ungrateful prince. I beg you not to allow this confidence
to be in vain, but to further the meeting of these princes from which
I hope that, with God's help, there will come for both of them
such profit and honour as shall delight all their loyal servants,
and not only them but all Christendom. Please give credence
to the ambassadors and to Master Jehan.

Charles V to De Mesa.
We have learned from our secretary, Jehan de le Sauch, everything
that you have discussed and decided with the king of
England about the interview between us, and also about the
prorogation of the treaty of intercourse. We are well content
with your efforts and want you to know that we shall remember
your service and reward it fittingly.

Adrien De Croy to the Ambassadors in England.
Messieurs : For the last fifteen days le Sauch has been ready
to return to England with the dispatches which he will give you,
but the wind has been so contrary that he has been delayed
until to-day, when he left in a little galley in which he will try to
make the crossing. The marechaulx des logis and the fouriers du
roy go with him to prepare the lodgings at Sandwich. His majesty
has decided to set sail as soon as the wind will permit him to leave
the harbour, hoping that God will send him a good crossing and
that the king of England will wait for him. You must busy
yourselves with the latter.
