Having lost the lease on the Blackfriars property, Anne Farrant attempts to appeal to William More through Sir Francis Walsingham. She describes in brief the terms of the lease, and explains that the ramifications of More's recent successful suit against Henry Evans. More has conferred the lease on Thomas Smalpeece, and is now attempting to prove Farrant's lease forfeit. Farrant explains that she has never assigned the lease to Evans, nor forfeited her right to it, having paid her rent on time and kept the buildings in repair. She asks Walsingham to intercede with More on her behalf, and dissuade him from proceeding in his case against her.
