To the échevins of the city of Tours. Request that they will hold the king's yeoman John Waleraund, their fellow-citizen, specially commended to them in making partition of his father's goods between him and certain others, so that a due proportion may be reserved for him, and that when he come to them he may feel that the king's prayers to them on his behalf have been fruitful, and that he may upon his return attest that they have been so, in order that the king may be bound to show grace to them in their affairs touching him, as the said John is serving the king usefully day by day, so that the king is unwilling to lose his service, on which account Jobn cannot come to them before the Assumption to make the said partition according to their order.
