Note 9.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV
Reading edition
[Add. Charter 17,251, B.M.] It is sufficiently evident that the date of this paper must be later than the 24th February, 1479. It appears to be a set of memoranda or instructions by William Paston, addressed to his servant Richard Lee. The MS. is a small roll of paper very mutilated and partly illegible from the effect of damp.
9.2 St. Matthias’ Day (not St. Matthew’s) is meant.
9.3 Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury.
10.1 Crossed out in MS.
10.2 Afterwards Attorney-General to Henry VII. He was Reader of Lincoln’s Inn in Lent, 18 Edward IV.
10.3 Blank in MS.
11.1 Blank in original.
