“Item 11th: To my nephew Linton A. Stephens I bequeath my Baptist Church, Atlanta fair Gold headed cane, besides what I have given him:
“Item 12th: To my Nephew Alexander Stephens, son of my Brother Linton, I give my Gold headed Oglethorpe County cane.
“Item 13th: To my Niece Mary S. Carey, I give my marble top centre table, which belongs to my parlor:
“Item 14th: To my faithful servant, Alexander Kent, I give the sum of two hundred dollars for his kind attention to me.
“Item 15th: To Jane Moore, daughter of Harry Stephens, and Quinea and Fanny Stephens, I give the sum of Ten dollars each.
“Item 16th: To Dora Stephens I give the gold watch which she now has in her possession.
“Item 17th: To all the other of my old servants, I wish my Executor to give such articles of furniture or other things, as mementos he may see fit and proper:
“Item 18th: My property I think upon a fair valuation is worth twelve thousand dollars. All this after payment of the foregoing specific legacies and charges, I give to my Nephew John A. Stephens, who is hereby constituted Executor of this will. All the remainder of my Estate, consisting of real and personal property, and everything of value I may die possessed of, including my Library, Manuscripts, &c. I bequeath to him on condition that he shall pay all my debts: and the foregoing specific legacies. The payment of the legacies to the minor children of my Brother Linton, and Rebecca Salters two children, I wish to be in three annual installments if my Executor shall desire: the interest on all legacies to commence one year after my death at the rate of seven per cent per annum: In this way, the minor children will have plenty to pay their annual school bills: And my said Executor may be able, by sale if necessary, to raise the funds to meet his engagements without embarrassment: I will also add that I have never before given to my brother Lintons children anything but a few small presents; while I have given to my brother John and his children quite as much, perhaps, if not more than I now leave to Lintons children: And I with my brother Linton have also given to the children of our sister Catherine Grier several thousand dollars, the exact amount I do not now remember, nor is it material, but quite as much as I feel able to give them: The foregoing four pages penned by John A. Stephens, my Executor and written at my dictation, I have carefully read, with the three interlineations on the third page and the erasure of the word in the second line from the bottom on same page; and pronounce the whole, as the 18 items now stand to be correct and as I wish and will it.
“In witness whereof I have hereto set my hand and seal, this 15th day of July, 1881.
“Alexander H. Stephens.”
