[Sidenote: 1459 / JULY 3]
‘Hit is to remember my cousin, John Paston, that where as he desired to
have the names of the new feoffment of the manor of Dedham that William
Geney might see to ground such matter upon as might be for the surety of
the said manor, I sent a copy of the said feoffment by John Daunson the
last week.’ Gives other points of information asked for. Has caused the
patent to be written and sealed for Rauff Alygh’s fee. Paston is to
oversee the evidences of Fastolf’s tenement by St. Olave’s Church, which
one Laurence Donne has summoned. Philip Grocer on London Bridge is a
great maintainer of Donne. As to the matters moved by Stephen Scrope and
Richard Byngham has lately written by Daunson ‘to my said cousin’ and to
William Yelverton of his intent, and given them full power to appoint
with them.

Castre, 3 July 37 Hen. VI.
Would like Paston and Hue at Fenne to see a speedier mean for the
recovery of the 300 marks adjudged to Fastolf to be received of the Lady
Fulthorp for the ward of Thomas Fastolf.
