WILLIAM TOVY

 

9 MAY [1480]

 

      The year is most probably 1480, when Whitsunday was on 21 May, but it
might be 1482 when Whitsunday was on 26 May. The earlier is the more
likely since Dogett seems to have ceased to be receiver before 1482. From
A.C., xlvi, 260.

      Welbeloved, I comaunde me to you, and I pray you to werne Maister
Botelers court to be hold with you þe Fryday before Whitsonday now
next comyng, and þat þe tenauntes be warned truly, and þat þey brynge
her rent to you þat same day or before: for þe lord hath sent to my maister

for his olde rent: I pray you lett hit be redy ayenst þe same day with
all þe new rent, as my maisters tryst is yn you. And when I come
thedir I shall tell Mathew how he shall be rewled with his new house.
No more to you, but Cryst kepe you. At Aston þe ix day of May

                                               By Gerveys, Maister Dogettes Clerk.

    To William Tovy, ffermour of Tyrfyld, be this bill delyveryd in hast.
