SIR JOHN FASTOLF TO THOMAS HOWYS, Clerk, and JOHN BOKKYNG, in haste.
[Sidenote: 1451 / JAN. 12]
Begs them to labour his matters, and forget not ‘that old shrew,
Dallyng, for he is sore at my stomach.’ Sends by the Parson a
_procedendo_ against Tudenham, which he has got out with great labour,
with a letter to my brother Yelverton. ‘And as to an assize for
Hikkelyng, I shall be there on in the beginning of this term; and for
Tichewell in like wise.’ Bokkyng must remind my cousin Inglos about the
indictments for treason of Heydon, ‘that the man might be sent up to
preve the said matter.’ Fears it has slept too long. Wishes his ship
_The Blythe_ sent to him.
London, 12 Jan. 29 Hen. VI.
_Signed._
Get my Lord [Oxford] and Yelverton to write a letter to Blake of the
King’s house, thanking him for his friendliness to the country; ‘and
forget not that Dallyng be had before my Lord and Yelverton, and make
his confession before hem, &c. And let the great men that have most
matters against [him] help somewhat to this good end.’
