[Footnote 151.1: [From Fenn, iii. 360.] This letter cannot well
be of the same year as the last, but is probably not many years
earlier, and certainly not many years later. The reasons against
its being of the same year are--first, that it seems to be
implied in the letter preceding that the Earl of Oxford was at
Winch, near Lynn, in Norfolk, on the 13th May 1450, which makes
it improbable that he would be at Wivenhoe in Essex four days
after; and, secondly, that he is not likely to have offered to
go into Norfolk (especially after having just come out of
Norfolk) on a matter touching the private affairs of one of his
own adherents, when he declined to go to the Parliament at
Leicester.]
