[Footnote 275.1: [Add. MS. 33,597, f. 1.] The year when this
letter was written is not exactly certain, but seems to have
been either 1452 or 1453. It might be 1450, except that one
would have expected in October of that year to hear something
about the parliamentary election, as well as the election of
sheriffs.]
[Footnote 275.2: William Dorward, according to Blomefield
(_Hist. of Norf._ vi. 519), married Margaret, daughter of
Nicholas Wichingham, who thus appears to have been a brother of
Edmund the writer of this letter.]
[Footnote 276.1: The sentence here is a little confused, and we
forbear to supply punctuation.]
