[Footnote 114-1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] Thomas Andrew, the
writer of this letter, was a servant of William Paston, the uncle
of Sir John, but the William Paston to whom this letter is
addressed seems to have been Sir John’s brother, whom we find to
have been in service with the Earl of Oxford during the years
1488-90.]
[Footnote 114-2: Richard Fenwyk was rector of Testerton from
1482-1504.]
[Footnote 115-1: Apparently this ‘he’ means Yelverton himself, his
servant being at the time a prisoner in the Earl of Oxford’s
custody. Fenn erroneously reads ‘in person’ instead of ‘in preson’
in the previous sentence.]
[Footnote 115-2: Fenn supposes ‘my lady’s grace’ to be the
Countess of Richmond, the King’s mother. I should think, however,
it was more probably the Lady Anne Beaufort, wife of William
Paston the uncle, the writer being in their service.]
