To Sir Robart Plompton, knyght, be thes delivered.

 

    Right worshipfull Sir, I recommend me to you. I thank you, Sir,
of your labor and good will. Sir, it is so that I have no more of the
ferm content of that at is owing, but xiiijs. Also Robart Goles
brought with him a byll of alowaince for Aykton Kilne, and I
have answered him, that he shall have as much as is our charge to
do; therfore it was sene by our tenants, and set to a valow what
should be our charge to do, and that shall he have: I understand
it was either 25s or 27s. Also, Sir, as for as touching William Paver
ferme, I am not content; I put it in respate till I come over, for
he sayth that he hath payd for suyt of court at Spofforth ij yeare,
and also fee ferme for one yeare, and he thinks to have the farm-
hould for 2vijs. viiid. in one yeare; but he shall not, and so I send
him. The brynger herof shall shew you more credence herein.
Sir, if it please you, upon tewsday come a sennyt, I would have
your court at Follyfait, that I might make levy of our fermes that
are behind. Sir, I say no more, but Jesu have you in his keping.
