I give and bequeath unto Mary Carrington Birdwell + Fannie Maria Johnson in equal shares my house in St. John's, Newfoundland and at the death of either, their share to go to my nephew the Revd. Henry Charles Hamilton Johnson. The nineteen hundred acres of land at Freshwater NF. belonging to my father I bequeath to Henry and Fannie Johnson.

I wish my niece Florence Ottley to have the large carbuncle pearl locket and ear-rings to match. The large pictures in my sitting room belong to Edith Marriott with the exception of the Portrait of my father which belongs to Bobby Birdwell. I should like Fred Crowdy to have any little thing he may care for and Mrs. Holloway to have some of my clothes.
