I thought access would be almost impossible.<br /><br />It must give you a shivery sort of thrill to touch a document and think that Edward himself might have handled it; perhaps to imagine yourself as the clerk and Edward leaning over your shoulder :-)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-74114988111705340142013-04-11T10:55:05.955+01:002013-04-11T10:55:05.955+01:00How amazing that you got to handle those precious ...How amazing that you got to handle those precious documents!

I think if you do the same, explaining why you'd like to see it, it should be totally fine! Jules and I spent all day with it, and it was absolutely amazing.Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-24067611950331369492013-04-09T19:15:59.958+01:002013-04-09T19:15:59.958+01:00are those actually your fingers on them?!

Did you get actual access yourself? or do you have to write begging letters to the Queen?:> Seriously, would anyone be allowed access if they gave a valid reason? or are they all on-line?Anerjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305237339979790391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-85015327319694914852013-04-09T16:17:53.980+01:002013-04-09T16:17:53.980+01:00Exactly, Christy!

And just think, Edward probably at least glanced over, if not read, these very pages. Maybe HE suggested the changes!
