To the écheving of the city of Tours (Turenen ). John Waleraund, the king's yeoman and their fellow-citizen, has suggested to the king that a partition of his father's and mother's goods is to be made between him and others ; and as the king is unwilling to lose John's useful services, so that John cannot come to them according to their order befure the feast of the Assumption next to make such partition, the king requests them to conduct themselves so in making the partition that a due proportion of the goods be reserved for John, and that when John comes to them, he may feel that the king's prayers on his behalf have been effectual, and that he may on his return to the king report that they have been effectual.
