[Add. MS. 34,889, f. 9.] This letter, which is in the handwriting of John Paston, refers to the proceedings of the Duke of Suffolk to enforce his claim to Drayton and Hellesden, and was clearly written in the summer of 1465 on Thursday before St. Peter’s Day, i.e. before the feast of SS. Peter and Paul (29th June).

157.1 Sir John Paston.

157.2 A later hand has here written in the margin: ‘Hic postea fuit Sir John Paston senior, miles.’ But the postea is wrong.

157.5 Philip Lipgate, the Duke of Suffolk’s bailiff.

157.6 ‘How somever’ for ‘whosomever,’ or ‘whoever.’
