Power of attorney by Alice, once the wife of Richard Penvey of Haverfordwest and executor of Richard’s will, to Richard Newton, apprentice of the law, Robert Turbot and John Couyntre, merchants of Haverfordwest.

The second, an imperfect counterseal, oval, red, with a heraldic shield, three saltires, and the fragmentary legend, ‘sigillu[m] thome…’.
