I pray that you will accept these instructions with the spirit of humility in which they were written; I wish only to aid you in your task and to help the new Priory in its holy duty. We at the Abbey will keep those of you who are going forth to found the Priory in our prayers and thoughts; and if we can in any way be of service, do not hesitate to call upon us.

By the Grace of God, I remain your humble servant,
Brother Theobald,

of St. Grellan’s Abbey.
