Note 120.3 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 3)

[From Fenn, iii. 42.] The date of this letter is clearly the same as that of the last, with only a day’s difference.

121.1 On comparing this letter with the last, the person here referred to would seem to be Justice Yelverton. Mr. Poulett Scrope, however, in his privately printed History of Castlecombe (p. 277), says it was Sir Richard Bingham, whose daughter Joan Stephen Scrope had by this time married. It is quite possible that Fastolf sent a similar message to Bingham by Scrope, and to Yelverton by Paston and Howes.
