349. H. HAUTMOUNT TO ROBERT WARNER.
[9 May 1478.]

     This Letter would naturally have come into Sir William Stonor's hands as
administrator of Robert Warner's estate. (See No. 295.) It appears to have
reference to Warner's financial difficulties which are the subject of NOS. 203,
205, 206 and 215. Thus it would belong to 1478, in which year Whitsunday
was on May 10. Buldry may be the William Baldry who is mentioned in
1480 (Stonor Letters, ii. 169.) The original is somewhat worn, and a few words
are wholly or partially illegible. From AC., li. 64.

     Brother Roberd I comaunde me unto you: it is so that Buldry
hath ij wryttes aʒenst you in Berkshire of a grete somme, and so
I [communed] with ffarendon his attourney þerin and pat I marveyle
