Jane Stonor to Thomas Stonor, her husband

70. JANE STONOR TO THOMAS STONOR

[2ND AUGUST, 1463]

     The endorsement is illegible, but the letter was clearly written by Jane
Stonor to her husband. The most probable date is 1463, when the Scots
had recovered Alnwick and Edward IV went north to Northampton, where
he remained till 28 July, which was the Thursday after Langforth came to
Stonor. Langforth was probably the son of Edward Langford, the writer of
No. 119. From A.C., xlvi, 73.

     Syr, I recommende me to Ʒow Plesyth Ʒow to wete ?at upon Wednes-
