This April 5, 1899

Since the above will has been written me and my wife has both become almost helpless and W .R . Galloway and family sold out and moved back here from Texas to take care of us in our old days and think it my duty to help them pay their expenses and trouble for coming out here I therefore have placed a certain black mare in said Galloways hands to make a part of the expense. Also to have two beds and bed clothing, all in good order, Pillow slips also.
