And it is also my wish that each and every of the legatees, in said last Will and Testament named, may, with the advice and consent of my executors, take, in lieu of the money to which they are entitled by said last Will and Testament, any of the property, left by me at the time of my decease, at the appraised value thereof.
Bonds of Executors to be only in a penalty adequate to protect creditors.
And I do also direct that the executors of my said last Will and Testament shall give bonds in such sum only as the Judge of Probate may consider sufficient for the payment of the amount of my debts.
In witness whereof, I have hereto set my hand and seal, this eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two.
(Signed)
SAML. APPLETON [AND A SEAL].
