_To maister John Paston Esquyer in hast._
[Sidenote: 1461 / AUG. 1 (?)]
Please your maistership wete that Danyell of Grayes In enfourmed me that
Kyng of Dounham whiche slewe Thomas Denys is arested and in hold at
Wysbyche and had ben delyvered nor had Fraunceys Costard a taken suerte
of pees of hym; and so he is kept in by non other meane but al onely by
suerte of pees. And as I felt by the said Danyell if he be craftyly
handeled he woll accuse many other; but Danyell is loth to name hem, but
I suppose he ment by Twyer and yet other mo, right sufficient, and
kalled of substans. Item, Haydon hath payed ccccc. marks and is
delivered. Item it is talked the parlement schal be proroged tyl the
iiij. day of Novembre and the kyng wol in to Scotland in al hast. Wretyn
in hast uppon the day of the Advencion.[296.2]
Youris,
