To the Infant John, lord of Byscay. Like letter to the preceding letter to James, king of Aragon, requesting John, in consideration of the ties of blood and friendship, to have the matter at heart for making aid to the king, as the king proposes shortly to visit the duchy aforesaid with a force to repulse such wrongs and iniquities with the counsel and aid of John and of other neighbours and friends, for which the king wishes him to prepare himself, and that he will receive the king's subjects going to his lands to provide victuals and other necessities, and that he will grant them safe conduct, and permit them to negotiate in safety. The king thanks him for the kindly reception of the king's envoys, who have not yet returned to the king, but they have informed the king by their letters of graciousness. He is requested to write by the bearer what he will do in this matter. [Fadera.]
