The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 4 (of 6)

Note 69.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 2)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter, though not addressed, seems to have been written by Margaret Paston to her husband. The election referred to must have been that for the Parliament of 1463. From one expression used it is clear that it was written some time before Easter, and the dispute with Jenney and Debenham about Calcote proves the date to a certainty. Compare Nos. 538 and 540.

70.1 Thomas Fastolf of Cowhawe.

71.1 The words ‘tesaur’ liberat’’ are interlined and apparently intended to be inserted here. I must leave the grammar of the sentence as it stands in the original. The word at the end, which I believe stands for ‘Yelverton,’ is very ambiguous from the careless writing.

71.2 These words are inserted between the lines, but whether they were intended for a heading is a little uncertain.
