ton of Reading thirty shillinges of gold and

laufull money of England to be payd unto her w(i)^thin three

mo(n)thes after my decease  It(e)m I doe geve unto [Reginald?] Ildesley

the son of my son Robert Ildesley one great charger of pewter

I doe geve to marye Ildesleye ^eldest^ daughter of my son Robert
