[Footnote 32.2: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter is printed from a rough draft written on paper, corrected in William Paston's own hand, and scribbled over, after his fas.h.i.+on, with numerous other drafts and jottings on both sides. Some of these occur upside down between the lines of this letter. At the head of the memoranda on the back are the words, 'In parliamento, anno H. vj. viij.' from which we may infer the date to be at least as early.]
