To my right wurchipfful husband, John Paston, be þis delyverid in haste.
Right worshipful husband, I recommend me to you, desiring heartily to her of your welfar, praying you þat you will send me word in haste how you be agreid with Wichingham and Inglose for þat matter þat you spake to me of at your departyng; for if I should [obtain/purchase] oþer wood or hey, it should be bowgth best chepe be twixt þis and Saint Margretys messe, as it is told me. As for Applyard, he come not yett to þis town syn he come from London. I have sent to Sir Bryse to let me have knowledge when he comyth to town, and he has promysid þat I shall have knowledge, and when he comyth I shall do your commawndement.
My mother bade me send you word þat Waron Herman has dayly fyshid her water all þis yer, and þerfor she prayith you to do therefore while you be at London as you thynk best.
Chyrche of Byrlyngham was toke and browte to þe Castle yesterday be þe Beshopys men, and all his godys [be/been] seysid for þat he owyth to þe Boshop. And þe said Chirche said as for þat he has said of hem þat he has appelyd before þis time, he will awow it and abyd therby; and said þat he will appele one þat has more nobelys than they have all þat he has spoke of yett, and þat shall avayll þe King more than they have all þat he has speak of yett; but what he is, he will not name until he know more. I trow but if þat be þe grett labour made against him, he is like to have grett favour of hem þat have be his supportors. Men think þat have spoke with him þat he hopeth to have good helpe. I pray God þat þe trewth mote be knowyn.
I pray you þat you will vouchesaff to send me an other sugowr loff, for my old is do; and also þat you well do make a gyrdill for your dowgter, for she has need there-of.
The blyssid Trinyté have you in his keeping. Written at Norwich in haste, on þe Tewysday next before Saint Thomas day.

Right worshipful husband, I recommend myself to you, wanting to hear of how you are and asking that you will send me word soon on what you have agreed with Witchingham and Inglose for the matter that you spoke to me about when you left; if I have to buy other wood or hay they'd be bought cheapest between now and 20th July - so I'm told. As for Appleyard, he hasn't yet come to this town since he left London. I have sent to Sir Bryse to let me know when her arrives, and he's promised me he'll let me know. When he comes, I'll do as you told me.
My mother has sent you word that Waron Herman has been fishing in her ponds all this year, and she asks you while you are in London to do whatever you think best about this. Church of Burlingham has been arrested and taken to the castle yesterday by the Bishop's men; all his goods have been seized because of what he owes the Bishop. Church says that for what he is accused of he has previously appealed about this and he will promise to stand by what he agreed. He says his appeal has more worth than that of all who have accused him and that he'll appeal to the King with more than he has said yet, but he won't say what he is going to do until he knows more. I doubt if there won't be more effort against him but he is likely to get the benefit from those who are his supporters. Men that have spoken with him say that he hopes to get a lot of help.
I pray to God that the truth will come out.
Can you make sure you send me another sugar loaf, for old one is done. And please send a belt for your daughter, because she needs a new one.
The blessed Trinity keep you. Written at Norwich in haste on the Tuesday before Saint Thomas's Day.
Yours, M.P.
This paper is dainty.
