148. ALICE, DUCHESS OF SUFFOLK TO WILLIAM STONOR 5 MARCH, [? 1475]

Perhaps the year is 1475 since Alice de la Pole died in May, 1475, and Thomas Stonor is presumably dead; but No. 113 makes it possible that William Stonor might have been appealed to for help in his father's lifetime. Printed in Excerpta Historica, 354. From A.C., xlvi, 101.
