H - S - To Thomas Stonor

98. H??S??TO THOMAS STONOR

[c. 1469]

   The writer of this and the next letter was the husband of one of Thomas
Stonor's sisters, and had property at Stockbridge, Hants; but I cannot dis-
cover his name. The reference to William Bourchier, Lord Fitzwarren
(d .1471) and to his brother, the Earl of Essex, indicates that the date was
between 1462 and 1470. This letter is at least eleven months earlier than
No. 99; but the two letters are most conveniently put together. From A.C.,
xlvi, 7I.³⁹
