Mr J T EDWARDS
My beloved son

 I write you a few lines. John I make one request of you as you know that I am going to be operated on tomorrow January 31st 1890 and it being very doubtful
whether I survive or not if it should be that I leave this world, I want you take charge of every  thing my beloved wife has and sell it only what she desires to keep and put the money in the Bank or some where it would be save and

let her have the same as she needs it and be sure she puts it to her own use, she is getting old and
you know when I am gone she will be troubled to death, and I can't tell what she might do in that
fix if she is in her right mind you need not be afraid, but you know all old people get childish and
you are young and I know you will see her through all right
John I write as I feel I don't keep anything away from her that she wants, and if she wants to go
and live with any of her children let her go, any thing to comfort her.  I want you to do and I
know you will that conscientiously.  I know you love your ma and you will do her right and see
that she gets her rrights, I leave all that I have for her to do as she pleases with only see that she
don't let anyone cheat or wrong her out of what I leave her! I trust that with you to see to, but
anything she wants or needs, let her have it.  If you see she can make any invest money to her
advantage then help her to do so, it is not my intention to bar her from using her money as she
wants to, but you see that she uses it as it should be used.  This Jan 31st 1890. At home and at my
right mind
