SIR JOHN FASTOLF TO JOHN PASTON.

[Sidenote: 1454-9 / SEPT. 19]

Has searched among his evidence, and found a release of Nycolas Bockyng

of his messuage and lands in Castre, ‘sometime Fraunceys and afterward

John Barboures, and Cassandre his wife,’ which is enrolled in _Banco,

Rotulo primo de cartis scriptis, de termino Sc. Trin. anno r. R. Henr.

Sexti_, 23º. Send me the copy of it.

(_Signature not in his own hand._)

Castre, 19 Sept.

[The year in which this letter was written is uncertain, but it

cannot be earlier than 1454, when Fastolf came to Caister, nor later

than 1459, as he died in November of that year.]
