_Endorsed_--Vyall.
[Footnote 186-1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] I cannot tell by whom this memorandum was drawn up, nor do I know to what it refers. But as the MS. appears to belong to the Paston collection, and is of the period, I have not thought it right to omit it. The name 'Vyall' which is written on the back of the paper occurs in No.

ABSTRACTS[186-2]
The following letters are probably all of the time of Henry VII. They are all addressed to a Mr. William Paston, but perhaps not all to the same person. The first two are apparently to William Paston, the brother of the two Sir Johns. The third is doubtful. The last may be to the son of the second Sir John.
1085.--John Wryght to Master William Paston at Hynnyngham.--Has received from him a bill with 3_s._ 6_d._, part payment of the cotton russet. 'The rest we shall drink when ye come to London.'
