319. QUEEN ELIZABETH WOODVILLE TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR 1 AUGUST [1482]
Comparison with the next letter, and with No. 313, which show that Stonor was out of favour with the Queen, suggests that 1482 is a likely year. This letter can hardly belong to the same time as No. 293. The signature is autograph. From A.C., xlvi, 151.
