The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 5 (of 6)

Note 159.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV. (continued 2)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] From the time of year and other circumstances, it seems probable that the election here referred to was that of the year 1472. A circumstance which confirms this date will be found noticed in a footnote. The original letter is mutilated in the middle by the decay of the paper, in more than one place.

159.2 The words after ‘Neverthelesse’ originally stood ‘her seid brother-in-law told me that tyme that he was with me,’ but are crossed out.

160.1 St. Catherine’s Day is the 25th of November.

161.1 The Duke of Norfolk. It will be seen by the preceding letter that John Paston was going to Framlingham in the beginning of November 1472.
