ABSTRACT1

 

SIR JOHN FASTOLF TO THOMAS HOWYS, Clerk, and JOHN
BOKKYNG, in haste.

 

     Begs them to labour his matters, and forget not ‘that old shrew, Dallyng,
for he is sore at my stomach.’ Sends by the Parson a procedendo against
Tudenham, which he has got out with great labour, with a letter to my brother
Yelverton. ‘And as to an assize for Hikkelyng, I shall be there on in the
beginning of this term; and for Tichewell in like wise.’ Bokkyng must
remind my cousin Inglos about the indictments for treason of Heydon, ‘that
the man might be sent up to preve the said matter.’ Fears it has slept too
long. Wishes his ship The Blythe sent to him.

     London, 12 Jan. 29 Hen. VI.                                                             Signed.

     Get my Lord [Oxford] and Yelverton to write a letter to Blake of the
King’s house, thanking him for his friendliness to the country; ‘and forget not
that Dallyng be had before my Lord and Yelverton, and make his confession
before hem, &c. And let the great men that have most matters against [him]
help somewhat to this good end.’
