Superannuation Fund Euston Station London & Barclays Bank.  I promised my Grandson Lenif living he should have my gold watch and albert failing him my grandson Fred or failing him either Cyril or Alfred which you like.  You Anise better have the French & Hollandias Bonds Messrs Davis & Co Newsagents 95 Bishopgate London E.C.2. will send you results of all the drawings and would deal with anything required.  They receive 8/-per yearfor their services from April 1st March 31st.  You also must have my writing desk as promised I have nominated you to draw the death  fund money from the Midland Friendly & Guards Society`s instead of Ada.  You must sell the 100£ loan certificate and add this to the money left in Barclays Bank and with the money you will receive from the two clubs pay all funeral expenses and other debts.  And what is left should like you to equally divide between Ada, yourself and Gertie.  The other things I possess clothes etc you must dispose as you think fit.
  Your loving father
