171. HENRY DOGETT TO [? WILLIAM STONOR] [20 OCT., 1476]
Assuming that this letter was written to William Stonor, the most likely year is 1476 when St. Luke's Day (18 Oct.) was on Friday, and All Soul's Day (2 Nov.) on Saturday. But Dogett was in the service of Thomas Stonor as early as 1444-45, and the reference to "Burghwardescote" or Buscot may point to the letter having been written to Thomas Stonor—see vol. i, p. xxv. From A.C., xlvi, 147.
Ryght worshepfull and my good and feithfull maister, I recomaund me to yow: pleasith yow to wete þat I have receyved the firme of Burghwardescote for Mychaelmas last passed, and for your mares there xiij. s. iiij. d., the wheche is redy at your commaundement. And for your Courtes, I woll kepe them a Asowlenday at Stonore, and the weke folowyng at Watlyngton, yef ye commaund me not the contrary, with Goddes leve, who ever preserve yow, my goode and feithefull maister. Wreten at Astun, the Sonday next after Seynt Lukes day.
Your old servant Henry Dogett.
