Richard Calle to John Paston.
1455(?)
MAY 8
Thorne did not come to him, nor could he learn anything about him from Sir Thomas Howes, except that Howes had informed him of what Paston commanded Calle to tell his wife. Will not distrain till he hear from Paston. Howys trusts to make sufficient reckoning of all things touching Fastolf, so that neither he nor Paston be hurt. He will do nothing in future without Paston’s advice. Desires him to remember John Elger, Bocking, and others ‘for the rescues which was made for Jankyn Porter.’ Remember James Gresham to withdraw the suit for W. Magges. No News.
8 May.
[The allusion to John or Jankyn Porter in this letter makes it probable that it was written in the year 1455.—See [No. 278].]
