[66.1] [Add. MS. 34,889, f. 192.] This letter may be dated 1470, by comparing the postscript with the beginning of [No. 742], which seems to have been written in answer to it. John Daubeney was killed at the siege of Caister in 1469. See Nos. [725], [733].
[66.2] James Gloys.
[66.3] Robert Cutler or Cotteler. See next page.
[67.1] Halliwell gives ‘jornet’ as ‘a kind of cloak’; ‘murrey’ was a dark red colour.
[67.2] Omitted in MS.
[67.3] Cardinal Bourchier.
[67.4] The reference is as inaccurate as the quotation. The text referred to is 1 Cor. vii. 9: ‘Melius est enim nubere quam uri.’
