[Footnote 140-1: [From a MS. in the Bodleian Library.] The MS. of
this letter is mutilated, but it is perfectly intelligible, as it
is the first of three relating to the same subject, of which Fenn
has printed the second in his fifth volume. The date of the matter
referred to is, however, uncertain, and I follow the example of
Fenn in assigning the correspondence conjecturally to the year
1491, in which we have other letters from the Earl, as Admiral, to
Sir John, as his Vice-Admiral.]
