NVe hope that he will carry out the provisions of our first. last. and only will impartially, except in cases where he wishes to be partial. Since a will and testament, to he a legal document ,must have the signatures ol persons ot weight in the community, I will have to forge the names ot' Mitchel Eskolsky. Ab- raham flleicher, and Robert Gordis as attesting to the genuineness of my signature. tSiQnedl Joseph li. l rciman
