The letters patent of which this is a fragment apparently ordered a significant financial grant to Edward's close companion Barnaby Fizpatrick (later 2nd Baron Upper Ossory) in relation to his stay at the court of Henri II of France between 1551 and 1552: 'Trustie and welbeloved we grete you well. [...] to our trustie and welbeloved servant Barnabe [...] our pryvie chamber the value of twelve hundr[ed ...] the courte of our good brother and Cosine the [...] expence there. Our pleasure and co[m]mandeme[n]te [...]'.
