Summary
Know you all and greeting. We command that it be assigned to our well-beloved son Gilbert de Preston to receive seisin in that place of ours of the estate, forasmuch as Lewis de Gerard gave us a vill in the town of St Edmund. And this is to be done, in which we have instructed him by our letters patent. In witness of which thing we have made these our letters to be patent.
And know that by these letters patent we give to him a full patent of assigning to the Friars Minor the aforesaid estate which was the vill of Lewis de Gerard, and which he gave in the same town of St Edmund, both for hosting guests and staying in the same place. Therefore, that these things be so disposed, that is to say that there may be tranquillity, let them be expedited. In witness of which thing we have made these our letters to be patent.
