Dear Will

It's only the preamble that's in English. The rest of it is in Latin and
looks like it's either a will or an inquisition post mortem. It's dated 18th
November in the 33rd year of the reign of Henry 6th. You can look that up
fairly easily to get the calendar year. After that, it's a case of reading
and translating the Latin. The writing isn't too bad but there are places
where it's a bit indistinct.
