[Footnote 28.1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter is evidently
earlier in date than the last, and may perhaps have been written
at the close of the year 1460, but as it refers to the same
prisoner as the preceding No. we place it here for convenience. It
is printed in the fifth volume of Fenn’s edition as a letter of
Henry VII.’s time owing to a misreading of the address, which
might easily convey the impression that it was directed to ‘Sir
John Paston.’]
