I hope the young man I sent will please ‘my master and you.’ I hope you
will not receive him at this time, and when my master comes home refuse
him. As for your lands at Sparham, there are not many lands to let. Has
inquired at Salle. Master Edward[225.3] is clearly answered of £18 a
year and 7_s._ or 8_s._ more. Bryston, Thyrnyng, and Owleton are let,
which belong to the manor of Salle. So he is clearly answered twice a
year at London, besides the fees, viz., of the receiver 26_s._ 8_d._, of
the steward 20_d._, and of the bailliff 26_s._ 8_d._
Sparham, Wednesday before Ascension.
