[Footnote 250.1: [From Fenn, iii. 404.] As executor to Sir John
Fastolf, Paston must have taken possession of Caister soon after
his death. The Duke of Norfolk, however, pretended a title to
it, and, as we shall find hereafter, had dispossessed Paston by
June 1461. This letter, dated on Saturday after the Feast of the
Conversion of St. Paul, must therefore have been written in
January 1461, as in 1460--the only other probable year--that
feast (25th January) fell on Friday, and a letter written on
Saturday after the feast would not have referred to the Friday
after the same feast as a past date.]
[Footnote 251.1: _us._ The word is _no_ in Fenn’s literal copy,
which must be a misprint.]
