ROBERT SPANY OF POSSEWYKE TO THE WIFE OF JOHN PASTON, ESQUIRE

[Sidenote: Between 1459 and 1466]

Begs her influence with her husband and Sir T. Howes, executors of Sir

J. Fastolf, for reparation of a wrong done by Sir John, who refused to

ratify a purchase made by the writer from his surveyor, Sir John

Kyrteling, of a place and lands in Tunstale, sometime called Wrightes of

Smalbergh, without receiving 10 marks over what was bargained.

[This letter must have been written between the death of Fastolf in

1459 and that of Paston in 1466.]
