[Footnote 287.1: [Add. MS. 34,889, f. 196.] The date of this
letter is difficult to fix, but from the two brothers being
together (which was rather a rare occurrence), and both in good
health, the summer of 1467 seems not improbable. (_See_ No. 671.)
The date must at least be earlier than Nov. 1469, when Sir John
Paston, as we shall hereafter find, actually executed an indenture
for the sale of East Beckham. It seems quite impossible, moreover,
that this letter can be of the year 1469.]
