The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 2 (of 6)

Note 189.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 4)

Reading edition

[From Fenn, iii. 50.] This would appear to have been written in 1450, just after Yelverton’s arrival in Norfolk, whither, it will be seen by the last two letters, he was going in November. The nomination of sheriffs had not yet taken place, and was anxiously expected by many, in the hope that it would lessen the influence of Sir Thomas Tuddenham and Heydon, who had hitherto been very powerful in Norfolk.

189.3 This is only an endorsement on the MS., and is not even contemporaneous. The MS. itself is not addressed, being, as shown in the margin, only a copy, marked ‘Copia’ in the same hand as the document.

190.1 Cardinal Kemp.

190.2 The celebrated William de Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester.
