57. THOMAS PORCHET TO THOMAS(?) STONOR [before 1450?]

To judge from the writing this letter is probably not later than 1450. The Latin superscription rather favours an early date. From A.C., xlvi, 248.

Ryght worschypfull Mayster y recommaunde me evermore hertely unto your Maysterschyp: doyng you to understande þat y have done þe message þat ye sent to me for: that ys to sey y have bowght for you xx^ti hogges, and the pris of ix^e ys xvj. d. a pease, and the pris iij hogges xiiij. d. a pease, and the pris of vij xij. d. a pease, and j Borepegge pris viij. d. No more to you, but Jhesu have you in his kepynge, Amen. Wretyn atte Wodefforde, the Thors daye next after Seynt Luke daye

Be your syr[vant] Thomas Porchet.

All so, Mayster, y certefye you for very trowght þat þe xx^ti of hogges are worsse now than they were whanne y bowght hem be iij. s. iiij. d.
