Whereas it appears vnto me by diverse Listenings that Francis Dente late of Salem deceased did declare his minde and will to be that if he dyed without other disposition of his estate, the same should goe to Edmunde Adlye, I doe therefore hereby grant to the said Edmunde power to administer the goods and estate of the said Francis,2 so as he cause a true Inventorye to be made thereof, to be deliuered in vpon Oathe, and to be accountable etc. when he shalbe required: This is allso to require all such as have any of the estate of the said Francis to deliuer in the same to the said Edmunde for which this shalbe sufficient warrant.
