Bess of Hardwick's letters online

I only discovered this website because I happened to check out a book written by someone who has contributed to the site, so in case you didn't know that Bess of Hardwick's letters were online, either

I am biased because I know a lot of the people who worked on that project, but still - yay for the Bess letters! Although yikes, some of that handwriting. Give me the 18thC any day...

I'm *still* miffed that no one taught me how to read secretary hand while I was doing my graduate degree! (Because, of course, that is the only thing that's keeping me from discovering a secret cache of letters in the archives…)
