[Footnote 268.4: [From Fenn, iv. 276.] This letter must have been
written in February 1467. It was evidently after Sir John Paston
had succeeded to his father’s estates, but before any arrangement
had been come to between him and Yelverton. It will be found
hereafter that on the 11th January 1468 Sir John Fastolf’s
executors, including Yelverton, released their rights in Caister
and other manors to Sir John Paston. On the back of this letter,
Fenn says, is written in an ancient hand, ‘Testes idonei ad
negandum veritatem, ut patet infra.’]
[Footnote 269.1: Fenn has ‘Sir Thowys’ in his left-hand copy,
which we cannot help thinking a misreading of ‘Sir T. Howys.’]
[Footnote 269.2: Fenn says this letter ‘has neither subscription
nor date’; nevertheless these initials stand at the foot of the
text as he has printed it.]
