JAMES GRESHAM TO [JOHN PASTON][113.1]

[Sidenote: 1449(?) / OCT. 16]

‘The King is now into the Marches of Wales, as it is said, to the intent

he may be near the country if my Lord of Buckingham, which is

commissioner now in Wales for divers offences done there to the Crown,

would sue to have his commission to be enlarged, if he were repyned.’ It

is not known when the King will be in London again, but he is expected

here at the beginning of the Parliament. I have your writs of error, but

can see nothing wrong. Thos. Denys asked me why you did not follow his

suggestion about the removing of the strength at Gresham, and thinks it

should be done yet. Francis Costard is not yet well at ease, for his

_venire facias_ between Will. Prentys and him and Hen. Halman comes in

very inopportunely. You had better come hither as soon as possible and

get the favor of the sheriff that shall be next year.

London, 16 Oct.
