The exemplar is HMML Cod. S 1399, f.110r. The text reads:
To Myfanwy Bullen, right worthy and well-beloved, from Iannick and Alana, greetings. Know that many are the reports we have received of your gentility, your diligence in the arts, your skills with a bow, and your service to our subjects, our shires, and hence to ourselves your rightful princes: We in return reward you creating you a lady of our court: Datum i juli lij.
I again marked my progress in half hour increments on twitter:

1.5 hours, and all the base coats are done! Too tired to start with the gold size tonight, so: Gold size tomorrow, gilding Thursday. pic.twitter.com/mCcpNWSahz

3 hours -- 45 minutes to do most of the outlining. The rest will have to wait until after the gilding. pic.twitter.com/zACVQBIEDF

3.5 hours (total). Whitework is my FAVORITE stage. It's when everything pops and escapes the OMG THIS LOOKS AWFUL WILL NEVER WORK stage. pic.twitter.com/tmaOL9Y9nH

No, wait, I was wrong. Putting down the gold is my FAVORITE stage. (4 hours total). pic.twitter.com/FUT6GVzlJt

Another half an hour doing some touch-ups on the gilding and outlining. Last photo until the finish piece has been received. (4.5 hours) pic.twitter.com/I8y1Z3J13i

I then completely forgot to time how long the calligraphy took, but it was probably ~45 min.
