ABSTRACT[32.1]
Sir John Fastolf to John Paston.
1455
MAY 28
Thanks him for his pains in speeding his causes at London this term. Understands the Sheriff of Norfolk’s officers are at Norwich, and now the writ of attaint is sent home by William Barker, which Fastolf sends again to Paston that he may consult with the Sheriff or his officers what to do. Both William Barker and Seffrey (sic) Spyrlyng are now at Norwich, and one of them, if need be, shall wait on Paston.
Castre, 28 May.
‘And I trust to God, as the world goeth now, the said attaint shall do right well.’
[The postscript of this letter seems to refer to the change of administration after the battle of St. Albans. As to the action of attaint sued by Fastolf, see [Nos. 268] and [276].]
