245. HENRY DOGETT TO [? STONOR]
[date uncertain]
This letter may be addressed either to Thomas (d. 1474) or to William
Stonor. Henry Dogett was in the service of Thomas Stonor as early as
1443-45, see vol. ii, p. 181, below—and lived till 1491. But the letter seems
to relate to a dispute with a prior; from the previous letter Dogett appears
to have had a quarrel with the Prior of Wallingford, and therefore the letter
may be placed conveniently here. From A.C., xlvi, 148.36Syr, as for the mater bytweme me and Crofte(?) ye undirstond my
writeyng that I shold have all the tythes except of the demayn lond in
Chalford: I clayme no more but all this tythe, hey as well in Chalford
[as] the corne out of Chalford, acordyng to my writeyng: I undirstond
that he hath the countrepanes of my writeyng, and yef I were prior as
he is I wold have the countrepane of his writeyng. Syr, I pray yow that I
may have a copy of his writeyng, and suche rewle as ye like to set
betwene us I wol obey hit in the said mater. How be hit I was offered
iiij marcs to lese my tytle in the said tythes, for be cause hit is well
worth xl s. a year. I remitte all to yow, my goode and feithfull maister,Your old servaunt H. Dogett.
