Translation:
"Jehanne...the Maid sends you news from
these parts: that in one week she has
chased the English out of all the places that
they held along the Loire river, either by
a**ault or otherwise, in which encounters
many English were killed and captured and
she has routed them in a pitched battle. A
brother of the Earl of Suffolk's and
Glasdale were killed.
I promise and a**ure you [that we will take
possession] of all the cities that must
belong to [our] holy realm ... in spite of all
opposition!
So God King of Heaven, wills it; and so it
has been revealed by the Maid..."
