To the right worshipful sir and my good lord and master William Paston, one of the justices of our sovereign lord of the Common Bench at Westminster.
Right worthy and worshipful sir and my good lord an master, I commend myself to you. As you wrote in the letter to my lady your wife, that your lady should get me and Robert Tebald together as soon as possible, and the information the said Robert received from you when you were last in Norwich, and that I should correct the errors in it, and what was done in that respect concerning Baxter's place at Honing by transferring the estate to you and to another as your letter requires, I am letting you know that on the Friday after you left Paston, Thomas Walsh and William Burgh in person, and the said Thomas represented by William Inges and William Walsyngham his lawyers, acting using a letter with his seal, were at Horning and delivered to Lady Scarlet in a while in the said place and Colbyes and Dounynges in Walsham. Thomas Walyssh, so Tebald told me, would not seal the said lawyers' document until the parson of Ingworth came to him and made him sign it. Wychyngham, in his own person, the night before the Friday I mentioned, so Tebald told me, came to Tebald's house and asked him to agree to relief of responsibility, he said, and Robert refused to do so. Nevertheless, whether relief of the responsibility or not Robert can't say, for he didn't see the document. The same night Wychyngham rode to John Willyot and asked him the same, and he also refused to do it. Your wife does not know what is best to do in this matter without your advice and counsel. Thus in respect of transferring the estate to you and the other, as wished in your letter, it hasn't yet been done.
The Holy Trinity have you in his blessed keeping. Written at North Walsham the Thursday next after the purification of Our Lady.
Your wife asks you to remember the green ginger, the almonds for Lent and the doctor of Orwell, for her sickness is getting worse each day, and she is greatly concerned.
By your servant John Gyn
