SIR JOHN FASTOLF TO SIR THOS. HOWYS, Parson of Castlecombe,
at Castre.

 

     Received a letter from them, 3rd April, with the last account of Sir Jo.
Kyrtelyng. and Intewod. Understands Rob. Norwych will not occupy as
undersheriff, because Jenneys had given him language not to his pleasure, and so
Aleyn is to occupy, who is not F.’s wellwiller; but Howys has provided a
remedy with the sheriff. When the venire facias is made out, I will try and
get it sent you, and I shall have Paston’s advice. Knows well the obstinate
will of false Dallyng, but Bokkyng must speak with him, and entreat him in his
best manner.—Margaret Bryg’s matter.

     As to the oyer and terminer, it is certain Heydon and Tuddenham will be
at Norwich with all the maintenance and fellowship they can. It is said
Justice Prysot will be there. You must do your best to keep your friends
steadfast; and I in the meantime will labour here, and send you word how the
world is set. Men of the city of Norwich have good audience and favour
among the Lords, and are waiting an answer of their matters. Has delivered up
the shipmen, and left the ship here for causes which he will write; ‘for the
rayse bath been full costuys, except they came in saufftee.’

     London, 13 April, 29 Hen. VI.
