[Footnote 254.1: [From Fenn, iii. 366.] This letter must have
been written in 1451. It appears from No. 119 that Daniel
entered the manor of Brayston or Braydeston during the sitting
of the Parliament at Leicester in the spring of 1450. He was
dispossessed by Mundford and Heydon on the 7th September
following, but he entered the place a second time in the 30th
year of Henry VI., _i.e._ some time between the 1st September
1451 and the 31st August 1452. In this letter it is anticipated
that he will be enabled to enter the place by his influence with
Lord Scales and the Duke of Somerset. This cannot refer to his
first entry, as Somerset was in France for a long time before.]
