To dam Maud de Mortimer pat wel foule it ssende [destroyed]

The piece actually reads "To dam Maud the mortimer that wel foule it ssende" The letter that looks lika a "p" is in fact a "þ", an old English character that represented the "th" sound. It's also used in the word "þe" (not de) mortimer. Surely the [destroyed] indicates that the following text was not there and is not a helpful addition to the interesting quote.
