194. BRIAN TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR [after 1477]

The writing is different from that of Nos. 249 and 250; it would not there|fore be safe to identify the writer with Richard Bryan. The date must be after 1477. As to Daunce see No. 255. From A.C., xlvi, 141.

195. EDMUND TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR [after 1477]

The date cannot be fixed, but it is not earlier than 1478. Edmund is mentioned in No. 303, and is perhaps the Master Edmund of Nos. 257, 284, and 303. From A.C., xlvi, 150.

Right reverent and most special gode mayster, with all reverens I commaund me onto your maystership: lyketh it your goodnes to have yn rememberans, at soche tyme as it lykid your maystership to licens me to depart I shewde the cause of my komyng: paraventur more chargeful besynes hath othedraw your mynde, therefore I besech your maystership to have yn consideracion a lytil wilnot quyte at this solempne feest: yn feyth I woold not sende yf I myght odir wyse.
