[Footnote 247.2: [Add. MS. 34,889, f. 156.] This letter has no
date, except that it was written on a Friday (_feria sexta_). It
might, perhaps, be a little hazardous to date it Friday the 2nd
January 1461, just after news of the defeat and death of the
Duke of York reached Norfolk; but this date agrees well with the
warning to John Paston to ride to London with all haste for his
safety, which can hardly mean anything else than that the
Lancastrian party, with their Norfolk supporters (several of
whom, indeed, are expressly named here), were now sure to bear
rule.]

[Footnote 248.3: A contraction perhaps meant for _quandam_ and
blurred. If so, it should have been struck out altogether; for
the words _a me primo_ (which are an insertion in the margin)
make the sense definite.]
