[Footnote 114.1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] The date of this

letter is very uncertain. In 1456 the writer dates from

Southwark on the 8th of May, and in 1458 from London on the 14th

of March, so that there is rather a presumption against his

being at Caister on the 2nd of April in either of these years.

But these points, it must be owned, are little to be relied on,

as Bokking certainly passed to and fro a good deal between

London and Norfolk. The date must, however, be between 1455 and

1459. The letter has no address, but was doubtless intended for

John Paston.]
