[Footnote 127-1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This seems to be only a
portion of a letter, beginning in the middle of a sentence.
Probably it was a second leaf added to a more lengthy epistle. It
is written on one side of a slip of paper and is in the hand of
John Paston the younger. It is endorsed ‘John Paston’ in that of
his brother Sir John, to whom it was doubtless addressed. The date
must be towards the end of the year 1471, as it appears by the
letter immediately following that Lord Rivers embarked for
Portugal that year on Christmas Eve.]
