Alvaro De Silva, who teaches theology at Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in Merrimack, New Hampshire, has produced a collection of nineteen letters by Sir Thomas More and five letters to him or about him. The first five letters in this volume were written by More to Thomas Cromwell, royal adviser in ecclesiastical affairs, or to King Henry VIII before his arrest and imprisonment in the Tower of London (April, 1534). The other letters were retrieved from the Tower by William Rastell (d. 1565), a nephew of More, after the execution of his uncle.
