My little cousin your son[258.5] is a fair child. Wishes certain
evidences of Frethorp, which she delivered to Margaret Paston’s husband
to make award between her and Rammesbury, a paper book of the customs of
Ormesby and a roll called ‘domysday,’ &c. Your father-in-law[258.6] was
of counsel both with my mother[258.7] and with my mother-in-law.[258.8]
Supposes there may be other evidences, as of Tacolneston, Therston,
Reynthorp, Rusteynes in Wymondham, Kesewik, and Stratton. Sends back
some rolls brought by a man from Norwich, which belong to Margaret
Paston and not to the writer.
