[Footnote 180.2: [From Fenn, iii. 94.] This letter, though it
has no date except of the day of the week, must have been
written about October 1450, after the Duke of York had come over
from Ireland, and before the elections for the Parliament which
met in November, and the appointment of sheriffs in the
different counties for the ensuing year. The references to the
affair of Lord Moleyns and to the indictment of Heydon cannot
belong to a later year.]
