To the master and brethren of St. Leonard's hospital, York. Order to admit into their hospital William Dautry, who has long served the king and his father, and to grant him maintenance in food and clothing, so far as the goods of the hospital suffice for those dwelling there and for him, and to cause letters under the hospital seal to be made of those things that he may receive in the hospital for his maintenance, as the hospitals in the realm were founded by the king's progenitors specially for the admission of poor and weak people and especially those in the king's service who had become unable to work, the said William being wholly unable to work any more. They are to write back by the bearer what they shall cause to be done in this matter. By p.s.
