141. W[ALTER] ELMES TO WILLIAM STONOR [? 1474]

The dispute may have arisen through some question as to Cottesmore's affairs after the death of Thomas Stonor. The month-mind at Pyrton Church was no doubt in commemoration of Thomas Stonor. Strictly speaking, therefore the date should be in May, 1474; but "month-mynd" may pos|sibly be used loosely for "twelvemonth-mind". "Katermayns" means Richard Quatermayns. From A.C., xlvi, 94.

Jhesus Christoforus.

My rygth wurshupfull Cosyn, I recommaund me unto yow with all my herte: plesyth hit yow to undyrstond that I have spokyn with my cosyn Cottismore, and aftyre the effect that ye and I comynyd, that is to sey that ye and he to stond and abyde the direction of eny ij wur|shupfull in your contre: to the wych he is agreable, so ye name soch as ye afore named, that is to sey Master Fowlere, M. Katermayns, M. Rede, and if hit plese yow to name M. Harcort: I suppose he wull be with yow at Pyrton. And the mene seson that no rent be levyd till such direction be had by such as ye afore rehersyd me of: which shall cawse grete amyte and the sonner the better: I suppose yf hit wulle be at the month mynd, at wych seson I suppose some of the afore rehersyd will be ther: and I suppose ye shall fynd hym a good and kynd brothyr. No mor to yow at this tyme, but Almyghty God preserve you fro all adversyte.

W. Elmes.

To my ryȝth wurshipful Cosyn, Wyllyam Stonor.

142. THOMAS STONOR TO HIS BROTHER, WILLIAM STONOR [1474]

This letter seems to be written before William Stonor's first marriage, pro|bably therefore in 1474; or if it refers to Elizabeth Ryche, Stonor's first wife, perhaps early in 1475. From A.C., xlvi, 125.
