[Footnote 29.1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] The manor of Burneviles

in Nacton, near Ipswich, was part of the lands of Sir John Fastolf

which Paston inherited by his will; but his claim was disputed by

Jenney, one of the executors. As Jenney is here said to have

complained that his fee was two years in arrear, we may presume

that it was little over two years since Fastolf’s death when this

letter was written. For further evidences of date compare No.

494. It may also be observed that we find undoubted evidence that

John Paston was residing in the Inner Temple six weeks later

(_see_ No. 511), whereas in the preceding year he was in Norfolk,

where his brother Clement wrote to him news from London

(No. 430).]
