I found this as a resource for someone else who wanted to know how a mediaeval 'mentor' might sign off a letter to a quasi-son, and I don't have any use for it myself at the moment, but it might come in handy.

An extensive compilation of the opening and closing addresses found in genuine mediæval correspondence (with links to the full text of the letters).
[edit: although a lot of those links have succumbed to net-rot over the last 20 years -- just as well the actual valedictions were cut and pasted out...]
