Note 179.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 4)

[From Fenn, iii. 370.] That this letter was written in the year 1465 appears clearly by the reference to the Assizes held at Walsingham (see No. 599), and the intention which the writer intimates of visiting her husband in London. Moreover, the first sentence of the letter, and also the postscript, are evidently written in answer to her husband’s complaint in No. 600, that she had not written to him what she had done at the Assizes.
