[Sidenote: 1456 / NOV. 10]
Begs him in the end of the term to come home by Dedham, along with
William Worcester and Barker, to see to the accounts of barley and such
husbandry as is used there. As to Wighton in Yorkshire, Bokkyng reminds
me you spoke to me that my son Scrope and his father-in-law[109.3]
should have all the lyvelode of my wife’s in farm, to which I agreed, or
else that Lord Vesey would have Wighton, as he once had, at a rent of
£34--much more than I make it worth yearly. Do as you think best for me.
I had rather my son Scrope had it with sufficient surety.
Castre, 10 Nov.

Begs him to common with William Worcester that by means of my Lord of
Canterbury, or otherwise, Master William Clyf and others of the
executors of John Wellis may be spoken to for the recovery of great good
that William Worcester knows Wellis owed to Fastolf.
[The date of this letter appears to be 1456. Of the years when
Fastolf resided at Caister, it is not 1454, because in that year
Barker could not have been in London on the 10th November (_see_ No.
265). It is not 1455, because Worcester appears to have been at that
time at Caister (_see_ Nos. 305 and 306). The same appears to have
been the case in 1457, though we can only judge by a letter of the
29th October; and although Worcester certainly was in London in
November 1458, Sir John Fastolf was then in London with him.]
