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

Note 280.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV. (continued 4)

Reading edition

[From Fenn, ii. 234.] We may as well place this letter—the only remaining one of the series that has been preserved—immediately after the other two. John Pympe seems to have been a very industrious correspondent, and the art of writing, in prose or verse, came to him very easily.

280.2 Destroyed.—F.

281.1 A term in Falconry, signifying the adding a piece to a feather in a hawk’s wing.—F.

281.2 Expensive.

281.3 Laughed? Fenn in his modern version reads ‘when I love.’
