The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 3 (of 6)

Note 104.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 2)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] The date of this letter is uncertain, but must be between the years 1454 and 1459, when Botoner was at Caister. Bocking and Barker seem to have been in London at the time, which we know was the case in February 1456; and as we have evidence that Bocking at least was still there in October, we may perhaps attribute this letter to the October of 1456.

104.2 The apposing of accounts was the charging of an accountant with the balance due by him to his employer.

105.1 Probably the patent of 6th June 1454, granting the wardship of Thomas Fastolf to John Paston and Thomas Howes.—See No. 248 (in vol. ii.), also the letter following.
