| Had heard that the hostile army was shifting its quarters. Not known which road it would take. Deem it advisable that the Archbishop of York should come with the troops [under his command] to join the others on this side. | |
| Were glad to hear that the Pope had conferred, the provostship on the Bishop of Coir, and hope that the Cardinal of Gurk will very soon repent him of his insolence.
