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

Note 128.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 3)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] In this letter reference is made to a ‘testament’ drawn up by Sir John Fastolf eight years previously. This, however, cannot be his last will, as that would carry the date to a year after John Paston’s death, who seems to be here spoken of as living. The settlement referred to is doubtless the testamentary declaration of 1457 mentioned in No. 541.

128.2 Sir Thomas Howes.

128.3 i.e. Little credit is given me for my good will.
