Elizabeth.  My [ indecipherable] chain, broach & bracelets I give to dear Emmeline.  The [indecipherable] was the watch that was her sisters which with the chain I have [indecipherable].

To Emily the beloved wife of my son James I leave four hoop rings enclosed in a case which I flatter myself she will sometimes wear.  I do not think it necessary to specify other articles of jewellery excepting a diamond ring which I believe to be valuable.  This I [indecipherable] present to my son Edward.  It was purchased in Paris by his father.  I desire that dear Emmeline may have Bishop [indecipherable] presented to me by [indecipherable] and any other book in the collection she may have a desire to possess.
Signed Elizabeth Macarthur
Parramatta
December 23rd 1743
My dear Mr. Anderson

[indecipherable] I enclose with the other papers.
Yours sincerely
E. Macarthur
