[RICHARD CALLE] TO [SIR JOHN PASTON?]
[Sidenote: Year uncertain]
Reminds him that four or five years ago he received from the writer
‘certain wainscoat’ and certain fish for his household, a hogshead of
wine, spars, ‘clapholt,’ etc. in full discharge of all former debts.
Will always be ready to repay what his correspondent has paid for him to
the King. Received of him a millstone, price £3, for which Calle gave a
ryall in earnest, and delivered 1 quarter cod to Philip Loveday. I am
grateful for the pains taken by ‘your mastership’ on my account, etc.
[The handwriting of this letter seems to be that of Richard Calle,
but much older looking than that of most of his letters. As there is
no distinct evidence of date, we place it after another letter of
his, which seems to be late.]
