264. OBLIGATIONS OF THOMAS BETSON TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR 10 MARCH 1480

The correspondence of Thomas Betson with Sir William Stonor ceases after the death of Elizabeth Stonor. Probably their commercial partnership came to an end about the same time. This document may have reference to the settlement of their affairs. In 1482 Betson still owed Stonor £1200, see No. 310. William Welbek after Betson's death married his widow, see vol. i, p. xix. From Ch. Misc., 37, ix, 27.
