Going back to this one - quote
[...Itm I gyffe to m(ar)gret my
daught(er) ij buschelles off Rye one this yere & Anoth(er) next yere & iij [?] at [?] ]
I wondered if the word at the end after 'at' could be 'Lamas'.
Sorry, but I still think it's
... iij q(ua)rt(er)s of lyn(n)e(n)
cloythe (reply #5 above).
As I see it, the word after
iij is written
q, long
r, contraction above (including an
a),
t, suspended
er,
s.
The next word begins with a slightly squashed
o (not
a, compare other examples of
of and
off below). The second letter descends below the 'line', is crossed through, and is surely
f; comparison shows that the letter
t is usually much shorter.
The last word on the line is
l,
y (with a faint tail),
n,
e, with a contraction (or two) over the
y and
n. The contraction is likely to be a missing
n (or two), hence
lyn(n)e(n) seems feasible.
The first word on the next line is
c,
l,
o,
y, and it ends
h,
e. Before the
h seems to be
t or
c.
Cloythe is found as a variant spelling of
cloth.
Just my opinion. Others may see it differently.
