From Norwich
1574 (1 Nov.) entire letter from John Payne to "Fillipo Corsini in London", some paper loss on opening though displaying well and believed to be the earliest known letter from Norwich, earlier than those listed for sale between 1984-88 thus vastly important as such

Notes: Of those letters known from Norwich, the majority deal with the cotton industry.
