To all who shall see or hear this charter, Margaret Crawford, the relict {widow} of the late Alexander Reid of Pitfoddels, wishes eternal health in the Lord [. . .] Therefore, know that I, for the salvation of my soul, and the soul of the late Alexander Reid of Pitfoddels, our parents, benefactors, and those from whom we received any good things with too scant justice, and of all the faithful departed, in honour of Almighty God, the most blessed Virgin Mary, St Nicholas, St Christopher the martyr, and all the celestial citizens, have given [. . .] to discreet and learned men, the curate and chaplains of the choir of the parish church of the said burgh, all and whole my annual rent of 20 s Scots [. . .] extending in length to the Trinity Burn on the south, [. . .] For which annual rent the said curate and chaplains and their successors shall annually celebrate and sing an anniversary at the altar of St Christopher the martyr, situated within the same church, viz, the office of the dead on the first Saturday of March, and a sung Mass on the Sunday following, with a trental of other Masses, as the custom is, throughout the week during my lifetime, for the soul of the said late Alexander Reid, the souls of my parents, and of all the faithful departed. Moreover, the collector of the same chaplains for the time being shall send the crier through the whole town with the smaller bell on the day of the said office to incite the people to pray for the salvation of the souls aforesaid; he shall place and set a table on the monument (of) the aforesaid, and cover it with a pall or decent covering, find wax lights, adding the prayers that are usual in such anniversaries, and causing the sacristan to toll the customary bells of the said church three times at the office and three times at the great Mass, as the custom is, and paying for the said anniversary at the time of the celebration of the office, the sung Mass, and the other Masses the said sum to the curate and chaplains aforesaid. And after my decease the said curates and chaplains, on the day of my departure, annually, every year in all time coming, shall sing and celebrate one sung Mass at the altar before which I happen to be buried, with a trental of other Masses throughout the week following, for the salvation of my soul, and the souls of my parents, benefactors, and those from whom I received any good thing with too scant justice, and all the faithful departed. And they shall sing and celebrate the other Mass at the foresaid altar of St Christopher the martyr, on the foresaid Sunday after the departure of the said Alexander Reid for the salvation of his soul [. . .]
