Note 121.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV.

Reading edition

[Add. MS. 34,889, f. 130, and Add. MS. 27,445, f. 52.] The MS. of this letter is in two fragments, from which it is now printed entire. The year in which it was written is shown by Margaret Paston’s letter to the writer’s brother John Paston, on the 29th November 1471 (No. 791), in which she apologises for not sending him money for a runlet of wine she had desired him to purchase for her, on account of the number of thieves stirring. It will be seen that she made the request by means of her son Edmund in this letter.

121.3 Omitted in MS.

121.4 Staple Inn.

122.1 Mutilated.
