[Footnote 86.1: [Add. MS. 34,889, f. 198.] This letter must lie
between the years 1459, when Sir John Fastolf died (as Hellesden
belonged to him), and 1465, as John Paston died in May 1466. The
most probable year is either 1462 or 1463, for it is mentioned
here that Paston’s farmer at Swainsthorpe had found security for
the payment of his rent, and Richard Calle had levied four marks
rent of him in February 1464. _See_ No. 558.]
