102. R. RESTWOLD TO THOMAS STONOR [1470 or earlier]

Richard Restwold of Lee and Sonning, Berks, who died in 1475 (Cal. Inq. p.m., iv, 369), had a long association with the Stonor family. The letter may perhaps imply that Stonor had been present in the Parliament; the second Thomas Stonor was M.P. for Oxfordshire in 1447 and 1449, but the reference to his wife makes the first of these years unlikely; it may, however, belong to 1449. There are, however, no Returns of Members of Parliament for 1455, 1461, 1463 and 1470, and Stonor may have sat in one of these Parliaments. But Richard Restwold was a party to the deed of 1 Dec., 1432—No. 56—and the letter may have been addressed to the first Thomas Stonor, who sat in the Parliaments of 1429 and 1431. From A.C., xlvi, 68.

Right worshipfull and reuerent Cosyn, I commaunde to you and I thank you hertyly for your writyng and your tythyngs and for the Actes of the Parlement. And yf ther be eny thyng I may do for you, hit schall be redy with all my hert. As for tythynges I have none, but I pray you to yef credence to K. the brynger of this: and God have you in blessid kepyng. Wretyn in hast at Lee. I pray you commaunde me to my Cosyn your wyffe &c.

R. Restwold, Esquier.

To my right worshipfull Cosyn, Thomas Stonore, Esquiere.
