King and council.
Nature of request
Thomas Fog states that at Martinmas in the king's thirty-fifth year he sent some gold, to the sum of 1700 marks sterling, to the Tower of London to be exchanged, which was seized by the king's officers without reason and for which he is now a prisoner. He requests that the king release him in reward for his services since otherwise he has no means of release.
Nature of endorsement
[None.]
Places mentioned

Note
Dated on the guard to c. 1362, since reference is made within the petition to Martinmas in the thirty-fifth year of Edward III, and so the petition must have been written after this date.
