My greetings to you. I'm pleased to let you know that I have sent a message to my cousin Berney as you said you wanted me to in the letter you wrote to me on Relic Sunday. As a result he has written to you and sent an invoice to me, which I send to you. He told the messenger that I sent to him that the Under Sheriff need not fear him or any of his group, because he said that after the election was over he spoke with him at Grey Friars and asked him to be well-disposed towards him, saying that he wasn't physically scared of anyone except for Twyer and his associates.
Sir John Tattershall and the Bailiff of Walsinghm and the Constable have arrested the parson of Snoring and four of his men, put set them securely in the stocks on Monday night; it is said they'll be taken up to the King soon. I hope God will see that they are punished according to the law. Twyer and his associates are greatly to blame for for the death of Thomas Denys in the courntryside around Walsingham, and it is said that if John Osborn had exercised his good influence, as he did before he got to know Twyer, Thomas would not have died, as Osborn would have ruled Walsingham as he pleased - or so it is said.
William Lynys, who used to be one of Fastolf's men, and others with him, go about the country and make imputations about people, even priests, that they be Scots, and take bribes of them and let them go again. Last week they seized the parson of Fritton and but for my cousin Jermingham the younger, they would have taken him off with them. He told them plainly that if they did anything like that, unless they had written authority, they would be beaten. It was just as well that they conveniently met with Jermingham. I'm told that the said William speaks as badly of you as he can in several places. Jesus have you in his keeping. Written in haste the Wednesday after Relic Sunday.
By your M P
If the Under Sheriff comes home I will try to do for him what you said in your letter; as for money, I have tried to get some in, but have only got thirteen shillings and eight pence since you left. I'll do my best to get more as quickly as I can.
