Content

An acknowledgement made by a mother to her son, that he has first refusal on the use of two plots of land, one manor house and a share of a mill. No financial transactions are implicated. The document seems to be a draft as it contains several scribal errors and lacks witness signatures that would be required to give it legal force.
