     1 [From Paston MSS., B.M.] The following inventory is in the handwriting of
Sir John Paston. The date at which it was drawn up must, from internal evidence,
be later than the tenth year of Edward IV.; so perhaps it may be a list of the contents
of the coffer mentioned by John Paston in Letter 784.
