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

Note 114.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 3)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] The date of this letter is very uncertain. In 1456 the writer dates from Southwark on the 8th of May, and in 1458 from London on the 14th of March, so that there is rather a presumption against his being at Caister on the 2nd of April in either of these years. But these points, it must be owned, are little to be relied on, as Bokking certainly passed to and fro a good deal between London and Norfolk. The date must, however, be between 1455 and 1459. The letter has no address, but was doubtless intended for John Paston.

114.2 Thomas Howes.

114.3 Sir John Fastolf.
