This letter—A. C., xlvi, 166—is much mutilated; it may perhaps relate to
the same matter as No. 242.34 It begins:—

STONOR

 

[1 JUNE, 1479 ?]

 

     This letter—A.C., xlvi, 166—is much mutilated; it may perhaps relate to
the same matter as No. 242. It begins:—

     “[I recommend m]e to you. Leke yowe Remembur the laste terme

at whiche time ye made a byll to your servaunde ffor the delyveraunce

the seyd catell reste yette with yowe. . . . Prayng yow they may be de-
lyvered accordyng to suche direction as wasse taken.”

 

     Halle then goes on to ask that:—

 

     “þe day may be had as ye apoynted before Mydsomer: my ffather
Rede wolbe redy with a resonable . . ., for he thyngketh he is nott
kyndely deled with, rememberyng he wasse nevyr speke with in þat

[la]tely to John Felowe for þe lande þat ye well know and incontinent

. . . . “the Tewysday in the Whytson. . . .”

                                                                                      . . . rde Halle.”

 

     To his ryght worshipfull Sir William Stonor, knyght, this letter be
delyvered.
