To my respected father, John Paston.
Please be informed that I am at Lynn, and am told by various people that the Master of Carbrooke wants to take control of the Marie Talbot as captain, and to distribute jackets bearing his livery to various people in the said ship who are employed by other men and not by him. Therefore as I have few soldiers in my livery here to strengthen me in what is the King's command, I am keeping with me your two men, Daubeney and Calle, with whom I intend to sail to Yarmouth: I have bought armour for them. And you will understand, by the grace of God, that the Master of Carbrooke will not be in command of the ships, as I had intended he should, because I am suspicious of his intentions, and this is one of the specific reasons I am keeping your men, begging you not to be displeased at their staying with me. Despite that, their errand at Wiggenhall shall be completed today by the grace of God, who I pray will have you in His keeping.
Written at Lynn, the day after I left you.
Th. will inform you of any other news.
JOHN PASTON.
