JOHN PASTON, K.

[Footnote 245-1: [From Fenn, ii. 186.] This letter is not

addressed, but must have been intended for the writer’s brother

John, or else, as Fenn suggests, for his mother, Margaret. Sir

John, however, ends by saying, ‘Within four days I hope to see

you’; and it appears by next letter that he was actually with his

brother at Norwich within _three_ days, whereas he paid no visit

to his mother, who seems to have been living, as she had done for

some time, at Mautby. This letter must have been written from

Framlingham, whither Sir John had doubtless gone to petition the

Duke of Norfolk about Caister.]
