297. WILLIAM LEYNTHALE TO [SIR WILLIAM STONOR] [? 1481]

Though there is no endorsement, this letter was probably addressed to Sir William Stonor. Leynthale was bailiff at Watlington, see No. 255; for Christopher Holland see Nos. 233 and 283; and for Harry Blakehall see No. 172. From No. 283 it would seem probable that this letter is not earlier than 1481. From A.C., lii, 30.
