ABSTRACT[120.2]
Sir John Fastolf to ‘my Brother’ William Yelverton, Justice.
1457
OCT. 29
Begs him to continue his kindness especially, now that the Parson, Sir Thomas, comes up to appear before him and other the King’s judges ‘by the cruel and hasty suit of Androus and his affinity.’ Hopes the process sued by him so eagerly ‘upon the unjust condemnation shall be reformed and holpen by the attaint in chastising of perjury that reigneth so much now a days.’ It were a blessed deed if it were reformed by Yelverton. Desires credence for ‘my cousin Paston’ and Sir Thomas in the matter. (Signature not Fastolf’s own.)
Castre, 29 Oct.
[This letter is written in William Worcester’s hand. The suit of Andrews against Howes appears to have been in 1457, as it is referred to afterwards in a writ of the 1st September 1458, which will be found noticed under that date.]
