168. ELIZABETH STONOR TO WILLIAM STONOR 18 AUGUST, 1476

"My brodyr Stocker" is Sir William Stocker, husband of Elizabeth Stonor's sister Margaret. "My brodyr Crooke" is probably her own brother John. If "my husbond's terement" refers to the anniversary of Thomas Ryche's death, he must have died nearly a year before his will was proved. Elizabeth Stonor seems to have spent all the latter part of 1476 in London. Unlike most of Elizabeth Stonor's letters this is holograph. Since 18 August, 1476, was on a Sunday, the time to Tuesday next seems short; but in the following letter there is expectation of an equally speedy reply. From A.C., xlvi, 114.
