[Sidenote: 1455 / JUNE 11]
Thanks him for his letter sent from London. Bokkyng writes that a writ
of _ravishment de garde_ is taken, and Wentworth’s counsel ‘call sore
upon the action of 200 marks in the Common Pleas, and John Andreus is
ready there, and writs of _capias_ ayenst John Porter as well as ayenst
Sir Thomas.’ Begs him to hasten to London, as there is great labour
against our intent. Wentworth has got Debenham, Radclyff, and others in
my Lord’s house against us. Would rather he were at London two days too
early than too late; for he trusts no man’s wit so much as Paston’s.
Castre, 11 June.
[The references in this letter to the affair of the wardship, and to
the actions against John Porter and Sir Thomas Howes, all show that
it belongs to the year 1455.]
