Nature of request
John de Carleton, keeper of the king's manor of Eltham, requests that he be allowed to take his wages of 4d a day as keeper of the wardrobe at Eltham from the keeper, farmer or bailiff of the manor. A previous grant to him by Richard II, confirmed by the present king, allowed him to take this from the Exchequer.

Note
Carleton was granted his office of keeper of the wardrobe in the requested terms on 9 January 1410. This also referred to the surrender of Henry IV's confirmation, and that Carleton had lost Richard II's original letters, but although this is not mentioned in this petition, this is almost certainly the resultant grant.
