Abbot Archibald and convent of Dunfermline make known that Archibald, son of W[illiam] of Douglas, with counsel of friends, and on account of money which Thomas, son of Edward of Restalrig, and his friends gave him, in full chapter of Dunfermline quitclaimed land of Hailes (Colinton, MLO) which he held of Dunfermline. Dunfermline Abbey, after this quitclaim, has given Thomas, son of Edward of Restalrig, said land of Hailes. Their brother is to be returned and will be accepted for burial at Dunfermline after his death as soon as part of money and property is produced.
