155. EDMUND STONOR TO [WILLIAM
STONOR]28 OCTOBER, [c. 1475]
In the official Index it seems to be assumed that this and the next letter
were written by Edmund Stonor (d. 1382). But they clearly date from the
latter part of the fifteenth century, and the writing resembles that of No. 152.
Both were no doubt written to William Stonor by his younger brother
Edmund. The date of this letter cannot be fixed, but either 1474 or 1475 are
suitable years. On 25 October, 1476, William Stonor was at Stonor (see
No. 173); so that year is unlikely. From A.C., xlvi, 7.Right reverent and wurshypfull Brothyr, I recomawnd me unto yowe,
good Brothyrhod, desyryng to here of yowre wellfare, the whych
AlmygƷty God contynue long to hys plesyr and yowre hertys desyr:
doyng yow to wyt y have spokyn with þe parson of Penyngton of the
matyr þat I have spokyn to yow off, and the parson hath told me that
hyt was Perkyns dowtter: and Perkyns seythe þat he cowd aweyll me
in my lond x. mark a yer. But I undyrstond nat þat he wull depart fro
hony lond with here, but with mony, and what þat ys the parson of
Penyngton can not tell. But, syr, yff hyt wold plesse yow to speke
with Perkyns and awys whethyr he wull geve hys dowttyr hys part of
Snowys well at Borowyscot to her and to her eyrys, I wold with the
glader wyll dele with hym: and in that that he seyth þat he cowd aveyll
me in my lond so grett money by yer, I shall beseche yow to speke to
hym in what maner of weys: and y beseche yow to be my good
Brothyr in any weys, as I have fownd yow herafore tymes. No more
to your good Brothyrhod at thys tyme but the Trinite have yow in hys
