Observations:

A large section of the upper right hand corner of the will and the bond are damaged  and lost. No information can be gleaned from the bond as a result. Happily the Inventory is intact. It should be noted that the spelling and description of objects is very idiosyncratic so some guesses have been made at what was intended.
5 sheets in all.
