274. WILLIAM GOLDWYN TO LADY STONOR 18 JULY [1480]

This letter is probably a month later than No. 271, which seems to belong to 1480. But the fact that 18th July in that year was on a Tuesday presents some slight difficulty. Attached to the letter is a small slip with some medical direction; only a few words are legible: "... k vj sponfull ... octua ys and menes...." From A.C., xlvi, 242.

Right worschypful and to me Synguler good lady, I recommende me unto yow: prayng yow to sende me a buck a Wedynsday next commyng acordyng to þe promyse that my Master and ye made at my laste beyng with yow: for a specyall frende of myn schall be maryde on Thursday nexte commyng, to þe wyche I have promysyde a buck: wherfor I pray yow þat he be not dispoyntyd. And my service schall be þe more redyer to yow at all tymys with þe grace of God, wyche have yow in kepynge. Wryttyn in haste þe xviij day of Jule,

By your servant, William Goldwyn.

Madam, I pray yow to speck to my Master for þe xvj. li. þat ys dew unto me.
