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.
