Thomas Mull to Thomas Stonor

69. THOMAS MULL TO THOMAS STONOR

[MAY, 1463]

    The date is fixed by the reference to the "Award of Devonshir," which
from No. 72 seems to have been made on or soon after 12th May, 1463; see
also No. 79. The Swete lawsuit, in which Thomas Hampden or Hampton
of Kimble was interested, was at this time in a critical position—see p. liii
above. Unlike most of Mull's letters it is not autograph; this circumstance,
combined with the rather formal tone of the letter, suggests that relations were
somewhat strained. From A.C., xlvi, 61.²⁴

    Ryght worshipfull Brother, I comaund me unto you. And thogh it
so be that, as me thynkyth, ye do not remembre me in suche thynges
as is me dewe, my sylver not payd me as yet of oold, a new payment

remembre you of thynges which shold concerne you, I wold not that
ye, nor noon of your welwyllers, took non thynges but such as myght
be to your worship &c. Sir, I avise you that in al hast possible ye
dispose you to London, bryngyng with you Thomas Hampdene, your
Cosyn, as ye woll his welfar and moo &c. Sir, I knowe him not, and
thogh I did, yet it must have wytty gydyng, which in no wyse I woll
medyll of withoute it be so that ye or sum other sadd man mo then he
be heer: the mater requyreth haste, for such that ye woll not ymagen,
and thynges that I woll to no man utter but to you or such as I knowe
&c. Sapienti pauca. As for your owne maters, when ye cume ye shal
understond al as requyryth: it hath noon hast, but when ye woll, com
yourself: the Award of Devonshir is not such as I wold it wer. God
preserve you &c. Ye know your seson, kepe it and ye woll &c.

     To my worshipfull Brother, Thomas Stonor.
