[Footnote 30.2: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] The MS. is a rough draft
signed by John Paston the eldest, and corrected in his hand. It
seems to have been written on the cover of a letter addressed to
himself; for on the back is this direction in another hand:-- ‘To
my most reverent and worchepfull maister, John Paston the eldest,
Esquier, be this deliveryd in hast.’
We have inserted this letter in the year 1462 as this was the
first year after Fastolf’s death, when John Paston appears to
have been residing in London in the beginning of February. The
only other possible years are 1463, 1465, and 1466.]
[Footnote 31.1: This name is substituted for ‘Herry Inglose,’
struck out.]
