Has delivered the horse-litter to Robert Lynne according to his message.
Cannot get a farmer for Mauteby. Sends John Deye. He will not pass one
combe barley for an acre. He has fourteen acres ‘reasonably well dight
to sow on wheat.’ None will take the close at Mauteby at the price
agreed upon with Calle by Lynne and Robert Butler.
Caister, St. Luke’s Eve.
_P.S. on the back, unimportant._
[From what is said in Margaret Paston’s letter of the 20th October
following about the lands at Maultby being unlet, this may perhaps
have been written in the same year three days earlier.]
