In primis petit allocacionem de xlv. s. pro operibus liberorum [tenen|cium]. It., pet. all. de xxviij. s. j. d. pro piscaria voc. Madyngstad.
Other items are:—

There are also legal expenses incurred by William Penbrygge, with his expenses on going to London; and expenses for John Hals in London. The total of receipts with expenses and allowances was £41 18s. 3d.; and Dymmok had apparently £21 8s. 0d. in hand.
The Account is probably for the year ended at Michaelmas, 1420 (8 Henry V); so this letter was presumably written late in 1420. In an Account rendered by John Warefeld, Stonor's receiver, for that year appears the receipt of £15 from John Dymmok, farmer of Ermyngton, and the pay|ments include:—

(Ministers Accounts, 750/17).
An Account by John Dymmok for 1419-21 mentions William Mayne and John Hals (id., 822/35, see vol. ii, p. 179 below). Dymmok appears on a commission in Devonshire in Feb. 1419 (Cal. Pat. Rolls, Henry V, ii, 274). John Fortescue was father of Richard Fortescue of Ermington (see No. 45); he was a justice of the peace for Devon from 1418 to 1422. John Hals,
