To the bailiffs, lawful men and community of Arundel. Notification that although the king ordered them to have the tenth or fifteenth for the two last years of the triennial aid granted by the community of the realm, at the exchequer on the morrow of Michaelmas next, to be delivered to the treasurer and barons there, yet because the king has learned that a moiety of the town has been burned by mishap there and that the goods of that moiety are so consumed that the men co not suffice to pay their portion of the tenth and fifteenth at present, the king has given them respite of that portion until Easter next, having compassion on their estate.
