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.

Tradatur ista litera magistro Stoner.

58. THOMAS WHITBORNE TO THOMAS STONOR c. 1450

There is no positive evidence for the date, other than that it cannot be later than 1473. But the Latin superscription suggests an early date, and the character of the writing is consistent therewith. Cuxham is close to Watling|ton. From A.C., xlvi, 220.
