259. PHILIP FITZLEWIS TO [SIR WILLIAM STONOR] 1479-80

This letter would seem to be rather later than No. 247, and since Lestan is still farmer at Horton (though in danger of losing his post), it may be re|ferred to the end of 1479 or the beginning of 1480. FitzLewis lived near Horton, see Nos. 324 and 326. From A.C., xlvi, 95.
