To my right wurschipful master, John Paston.

I pray you that you will wait safe to remembre Johane Gayne matre, and that you will take John Paston that he remembre you of it, for Dawbeney and Pampyng will soon for gete it.
To my right worshipful master, John Paston,
My best wishes to you. I'm pleased to let you know that I have spoken with Furbuschour and another about the matter you spoke to me of, and they have promised me to be as honest about it as if it were for themselves. I've also spoken to my mother and told her what you asked me to say and she said she heard the news beforehand, and she said she wishes you do well whatever you say and move on to in other discussions. It seems to me she is not pleased that you didn't come to see her before you rode off. I'll tell you more when you come home. Thomas Denys's wife was in touch with me and asked that I should write to you and ask you, so that she might know from you, what you will that she should do with her matter; she says her brother and other friends think she should go up to London and discuss her matter there, but she says clearly she will do nothing without your advice. I was told that Bacon and Gonnor were here to speak with me about the matter that Bacon spoke to you about; at the time I was in Norwich and I have heard no more of them since. As for my brother William, he doesn't intend to come to London until after Pentecost, but my brother Clement intends to come on Monday or Tuesday next at the latest. No more for the moment, but the blessed Trinity preserve you. Written the 18th day of May.
Your Margaret Paston
Please remember Joan Gayne's matter, and remind John Paston of it, for Daubeney and Pampyng will soon forget it.
