[Footnote 124.1: [From Fenn, iii. 40.] As there is no distinct
evidence of the date of this letter, I have placed it after
another paper written by Agnes Paston, and making mention of
Clement, though I rather suspect it may be a little later. It
certainly cannot have been, as Fenn supposes, written within a
short time after William Paston’s death in 1444, as Clement
Paston was then only two years old. From some of the expressions
we might be led to suspect that John Paston was in trouble at
the time.]
