To Reginald de Grey, justice of Chester. Whereas the king granted by his letters patent to the abbot and convent of Chester six marks yearly from the exchequer of Chester, in recompence for certain tithes of the demesnes of the manor of Frodesham, which are estimated at 6 marks yearly, and which the abbot and convent remitted, out of reverence for the king, to the abbot and convent of Vale Royal, and 21 marks are in arrears for the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth years and for Easter term in the ninteenth year of the reign, as they say: the king orders the justice to pay to them 21 marks without delay, if they have not hitherto received them.
