ABSTRACT[34.2]
Sir John Fastolf to John Paston.
1455
JUNE 11
Thanks him for his letter sent from London. Bokkyng writes that a writ of ravishment de garde is taken, and Wentworth’s counsel ‘call sore upon the action of 200 marks in the Common Pleas, and John Andreus is ready there, and writs of capias ayenst John Porter as well as ayenst Sir Thomas.’ Begs him to hasten to London, as there is great labour against our intent. Wentworth has got Debenham, Radclyff, and others in my Lord’s house against us. Would rather he were at London two days too early than too late; for he trusts no man’s wit so much as Paston’s.
Castre, 11 June.
[The references in this letter to the affair of the wardship, and to the actions against John Porter and Sir Thomas Howes, all show that it belongs to the year 1455.]
