153. THOMAS STAUNTON OR STONOR TO WILLIAM STONOR 19 JULY, [1475]

Like the previous letter this is written from France during the expedition of 1475. For the curious signature see the note to No. 151. This letter shows that William Stonor must have married Elizabeth Ryche in the summer of 1475; her first husband died before 1st July of that year (perhaps in August, 1474, see No. 168 and p. xxvii above), though his will was not proved till 4 October, 1475. From A.C., xlvi, 113.

Ryght reverent and worchypfull broder, with as many hartely re|comaundacions as may be I recommande me to you, dirsiryng spessially
