From Elizabeth Waters to her son Benjamin Waters (September 14, 1872)

[Elizabeth Waters, née Butterworth, to her son, Benjamin]

My dear Benjamin

I give to my daughter Jane the £200 pounds at present in the Timber Company.  She has devoted her best days in attending to her Parents comforts and to their household duties, I feel sure that all of you will think that she deserves that little remembrance, and I hope my children will be ever kind & try to make each other happy –

Elizabeth Waters
