ABSTRACT2

 

ELEANOR CHAMBRE TO WILLIAM PASTON.

 

     Thanks him for what he did for her at Sparham at their last interview. He
then expected to have more leisure to attend to her affairs at London after this
Hallowmass, when he would ordain that she should have lawful estate for life in
the partition made ‘betwixt you and me, to for such that was there for my
husband and for me at that time.’ Begs him to do it now, and deliver it to her
brother, John Chambre, or her servant, John Coke, the bearer. Sends the deed
of annuity under her husband’s signet and hers, which she must pay to Paston’s
children.

 

     Welouby, Sunday after St. Martin.

 

     [Alianore, widow of Robert Mauteby, Esq., remarried Thomas Chambers, Esq.,
lord of Sparham in her right, in 20 Henry VI. Her son, John Mauteby, was the father
of Margaret, wife of John Paston.—See Blomefield, xi. 228.]
