66. H —— TO [THOMAS] STONOR 22 JULY [? 1462]

Since this relates to Attebare it probably has reference to the affairs of Mistress Swete—see Note on No. 65, and p. liii above. The date is there|fore probably 22 July, 1462. The writer can hardly be Hampton, for the writing differs from that of Nos. 65 and 67; nor is Hampton likely to have addressed Stonor as "syr". The right side of the letter has been torn away. From A.C., xlvi, 250.

Riht worshepfull Syr, after all du recommendacion had unto you and to my mastres your [wife, letyng you wete] that as for Attebare, I am in pocescion þerin wiche takyn pesybely, as . . . more playnly can en|fourme you, to whom that yt wooll please you to g[ive credens in what] he woll schowe unto you for þe exspedicion and wele of þis matyer. A[lmyghty Jhesu] ever preserve you. Wryt at Attebare uppon Mary Mawdelyne Day.

To Mayster Stonor be þis delylyvered.

67. THOMAS HAMPTON TO THOMAS STONOR 31 AUG. [1462]

This seems to be later in date than No. 65. For the reasons stated in the Note on that letter the year must have been 1462. As to Sir John Beynton, see p. lvi above. From A.C., xlvi, 56.
