WILLIAM PASTON TO NICHOLAS GOLDEWELL

[Sidenote: 1478 / OCT. 9]

Spoke to him on Sunday about a clerk presented by William Paston’s

mother to the Church of Oxnead, and not admitted, though the

presentation was delivered to Master John Bulman, my lord’s deputy,

within the time limited by law. Requests him to get the Bishop to do him

justice. The living is of small value, and the delay can be of little

benefit to my lord. Desires an answer by the bearer, Sir William Upgate,

Vicar of Castre.

Norwich, 9 Oct.
