This letter appears to have been used as a wrapper for others. It is
endorsed, ‘Literæ diversorum directæ J. Paston receptæ apud London
per diversos annos ante festum Michaelis anno xxxiiij Hen. VI.
Literæ Fastolff pro Costid (?). Literæ W. Wayt pro tempore suæ
tribulationis. Literæ Windham.’
[Footnote 64.3: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter is without
a signature or address, and who the writer was does not appear.
It was evidently written soon after the taking of the
inquisition on the death of William Paston, the Judge, the date
of which is given in the extract as 2nd November 23 Henry VI.,
_i.e._ 1444.]

both (?).]
