[Footnote 195.2: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter is apostyled

in the handwriting of John Paston, and numbered ‘V’ at the head.

As it refers to Paston’s dispute with the Duke of Suffolk about

the manors of Hellesden and Drayton, it must belong to the year

1465. The reader will also perceive that it contains an allusion

to John Paston’s imprisonment in the Fleet, and to my Lord Percy,

who is mentioned in Letter 609, and who must have been a

fellow-prisoner of Paston’s.]
