To the bailiffs and men of Ipswich. The king thanks them for their grant of two ships suitably provided with armed men, victuals, and other necessaries to set out in his service for the expedition of the Scotecb war at the expense of the bailiffs and men for two months, the king having been certified of their grant by J. bishop of Norwich, whom he appointed with Walter de Norwyco, keeper of the office of treasurer, to expound to them certain matters touching the subsidy of ships required by the king for the aforesaid war. The king requests them to send the ships thus provided and prepared to him at Tynemuth, so that they be there in the octaves of Holy Trinity next at the latest. By K.
