John Colyngrygge to Margaret Makney

191. JOHN COLYNGRYGGE TO MARGARET
MAKNEY

[date uncertain]

     This is not a Stonor Letter, though it may possibly have found its way into
the Stonor Papers (from which it is now detached) through Henry Makney.

It is, however, of interest for the illustration of Nos. 191 and 193. From
A.C., li, 56.

     In Exchequer (K.R.) Accounts 515/22 there is an account between John
Colyngrygge and his mother-in-law, which is worth insertion here:—

     "This bylle makythe mensyon of the goodys þe whiche John Colyngrygge
hathe receyvyd of Margrete Makney for his wyfes Chambre. In primis, a
