265. GERVEYS, DOGETT'S CLERK, TO WILLIAM TOVY 9 MAY [1480]

The year is most probably 1480, when Whitsunday was on 21 May, but it might be 1482 when Whitsunday was on 26 May. The earlier is the more likely since Dogett seems to have ceased to be receiver before 1482. From A.C., xlvi, 260.

Welbeloved, I comaunde me to you, and I pray you to werne Maister Botelers court to be hold with you þe Fryday before Whitsonday now next comyng, and þat þe tenauntes be warned truly, and þat þey brynge her rent to you þat same day or before: for þe lord hath sent to my maister for hit. And Danyell telled me þat ye became detter to Sir William Stonor for his olde rent: I pray you lett hit be redy ayenst þe same day with all þe new rent, as my maisters tryst is yn you. And when I come thedir I shall tell Mathew how he shall be rewled with his new house. No more to you, but Cryst kepe you. At Aston þe ix day of May

By Gerveys, Maister Dogettes Clerk.

To William Tovy, ffermour of Tyrfyld, be this bill delyveryd in hast.
