226. DAME ELIZABETH STONOR TO SIR
WILLIAM STONOR

 

[21 AUGUST, 1478]

 

     We know from No. 217 that Lady Stonor intended to be in London in the
latter part of August, 1478, and from No. 225 that she was expected to come
to London shortly on 1 August. So that year seems to be certain. The re-
ference to Robert Warner also points to 1478, see Nos. 203 and 206. From
A.C., xlvi, 213.27

Jhesus.
