[Footnote 246-1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter is shown by
internal evidence to have been written shortly after the Duke of
Norfolk’s death, which, as we have seen, took place on the 17th
January 1476. It was written on a Sunday, and states that Sir John
Paston had left Norwich the day before. The letter following,
which is of the 23rd January, is dated by John Paston, ‘Tuesday
next after your (Sir John’s) departing,’ so that the Sunday on
which this was written must certainly have been the 21st.]
