[152.1] [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter seems to have reference to the depositions touching Sir John Fastolf’s will in the suit brought by Sir William Yelverton and William Worcester against John Paston and Thomas Howes. Robert Popy seems to have been examined in the spring of 1464 (see [No. 565]); but the suit was still going on in 1465, and in a letter of Margaret Paston’s, of the 24th June following, Richard Calle is mentioned as having recently left her and gone to her husband in London.
