[Footnote 120.3: [From Fenn, iii. 42.] The date of this letter

is clearly the same as that of the last, with only a day’s

difference.]

[Footnote 121.1: On comparing this letter with the last, the

person here referred to would seem to be Justice Yelverton. Mr.

Poulett Scrope, however, in his privately printed _History of

Castlecombe_ (p. 277), says it was Sir Richard Bingham, whose

daughter Joan Stephen Scrope had by this time married. It is

quite possible that Fastolf sent a similar message to Bingham by

Scrope, and to Yelverton by Paston and Howes.]
