98. H— S— TO THOMAS STONOR [c. 1469]

The writer of this and the next letter was the husband of one of Thomas Stonor's sisters, and had property at Stockbridge, Hants; but I cannot dis|cover his name. The reference to William Bourchier, Lord Fitzwarren (d. 1471) and to his brother, the Earl of Essex, indicates that the date was between 1462 and 1470. This letter is at least eleven months earlier than No. 99; but the two letters are most conveniently put together. From A.C., xlvi, 71.

Right worshipfull brother, I recomaunde me to you: ffor as much as I understonde by my lorde ffitz Wareyn þat he hathe diverse thynges to doo with you for certein matiers touchyng bothe his worship and profite, wher in ye maye greatly please and also put you in suerte to have in tyme to come, if you neded, right good lordship as well of my lorde of Essex, to whom I am moste bounde, as of other my lordes his brethern: for trouth my lorde of Essex, and he also, specyally desired me to write to you, thynkyng þat ye shulde be þe better willed for my sake, the which I wyll veryly trust ye will doo. Also I understonde þat þe title of Jobury is by his owne Counsell wayved and taken for nought. My wife, your suster, recomandeth hir to you as to hire unkynde brother, for þat ye wer so longe in toune and wulde not see heer. No mor to you nowe, but Jhesu kepe you. Wreten at London þe xj day of Marche.

H. S.

To my worshipfull brother, Thomas Stonor, esquyer, be this letter delivered.
