Ang.’ and ‘Lib. lx, foliorum 310.’

As the letter was expedited on July 23, 1435, and as it belongs to the year of the Incarnation, 1435, and the fifth year of Eugenius [March 11, 1435—March 10, 1436] its date must lie between March 25 and July 23, or, more exactly, between March 31 and June 30, 1435.
