Codicil.

Since my having signed the above affairs of the trust having considerably altered and there being now the greatest appearance of a speedy liquidation without selling any part of my estates except the estates of Lagues and Demaugis[?] I do hereby declare it my last will that the estate of Permonant situated in the Quarter of Saint Georges shall not be comprehended in the effects I have left to Messrs. Payne Angerstein and Wilkinson and I do hereby leave the same with all my personal estate to Henry De Pontieu Esquire, merchant in London, subject to the following annuities to be annually paid namely £200 sterling to my sister Elizabeth Wilkes, wife of Israel Wilkes and conditionally that he shall give up all presensions of revenue on the other estates until a perfect liquidation of principal and interest at the rate of 1 per cent per annum. I hereby likewise declare that the money in my hands belonging to Jane Harronar[?] is £3,000 sterling which may be raised from my cash account and it is my will that she should be paid out of the reserve of the said estates £180 sterling penny rent until payment of her capital the said £3,000 sterling including her Regs. at point and all I owe Joseph Rose £200 sterling which I desire the said Henry De Ponthieu to pay him out of the revenue 1771. Any reason for altering this part of my will is the positive knowledge I have that is, the estates will be sufficient to pay interest and capital in a short time. I do not mention my worthy father, who I know well provided for to his wishes by the trust and his children. Signed 25/12/1769.
