274. WILLIAM GOLDWYN TO LADY STONOR 18 JULY [1480]
This letter is probably a month later than No. 271, which seems to belong to 1480. But the fact that 18th July in that year was on a Tuesday presents some slight difficulty. Attached to the letter is a small slip with some medical direction; only a few words are legible: "... k vj sponfull ... octua ys and menes...." From A.C., xlvi, 242.
