Note 86.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI. Restored

Reading edition

[Add. MS. 34,889, f. 206.] This letter was written by Margaret Paston to one of her two sons, Sir John or John, at a time when they were both together. That was the case in October 1470, as appears by a letter of the younger brother, written on the 12th (No. 759), to the postscript of which this seems to be an answer.

86.3 Agnes Paston, the judge’s widow.

87.1 Norwich.

88.1 ‘I xuld a dohem mad here’ = I should have got them made here.

88.2 Elizabeth, widow of Robert Poynings.

88.3 Omitted in MS.

88.4 Sir John Paston, if this letter be to the younger brother.

88.5 Margery Paston, now probably married to Richard Calle.
