144. THOMAS RAMSEY TO [WILLIAM STONOR] [12 NOVEMBER, 1474]

This was clearly written to William Stonor shortly before the next letter. It was presumably earlier than the bond of 9 May, 1475 (No. 150) and therefore we get 1474 for the year. Ramsey was first cousin to Thomas Stonor—see p. xix—and one of his executors. From A.C., xlvi, 227.

My worschipfull Cosyn, I recomaund me to yow: pleasith yow I have spoken with Harper like as ye willid me: and as for your mater, he seith hit is ferre in the law and wolbe sued to the utterest acordyng to your title: wherfor he desired that my Cosyn Hampden and Harry Doget may have knowlage that they do no thyng contrarie to your title.

Thomas Ramsey.
