Scope and content
Robert Kitcheman, one of the ordinary messengers of the Queen’s Chamber, asks for an allowance of 26s. 8d. for riding at the command of the Lord High Treasurer (the Marquess of Winchester) from the Treasurer’s place at London to ‘Pesnell’ (Peasenhall) in Suffolk to deliver a writ to Sir Owen Hopton, sheriff of Suffolk and Norfolk, and for returning to London ‘with like hast’. Kitcheman asks for an allowance for his charges and pains to be rated by the Treasurer at 2s. 8d. a day and paid by one of the tellers of the Receipt at Westminster. ‘I was out in this Jorney the space of x Dayes.’
(Marked ‘fiat All[ocatum]’, and signed by the Marquess of Winchester.)
