ABSTRACT2

 

SIR JOHN FASTOLF TO SIR THOMAS, Parson of Castlecombe, WILLIAM JENNEY,
and JOHN BOKKYNG.

 

     Thanks them for their diligence. Has respited the matter against Wyndham
touching the Lady Bardolf till next term, as he offers to come to an agreement.3
Is ready to agree with all persons who will find sufficient surety, except Sir
Thomas Tudenham, Heydon, and Pykering (underlined). Master John Bote-
wright has sent him a letter of great loss and damage done by Tudenham and
Heydon to the ‘comyn’ of Swaffham, ‘benymmyng (?) 600 acres lond of her
comyn.’ Has written to ‘my brother Yelverton,’ and would write also to my
Lord of Oxford, but that he is so vexed in spirit ‘in thys trouble seson,’ that
at times he cannot abide the signing and sealing of a letter. Prays them to see
well to the accountants and auditors’ charges.

     London, 2 Dec. 29 Hen. VI.

     ‘And because I might [not] abide till the writing of the matters that I
commanded Worcester to write, I signed the letter so near the beginning; but
I will ye tender, nevertheless, my letter and articles for my most profit and
avail.’

     2 [From MS. Phillipps, 9735, No. 235.]

     3 Fastolf’s signature is placed here, near the beginning of the letter, after the first
paragraph.
