with him. at one Of my earlier visits on Mrs.

9 h..
with the disposition; when attempting to
leave, Redlick told me privately that he did
wish me to interest myself; therefore did
so; a few days atter-perhaps in May-Nrs
Reddick reiterated her desire; Reldick
said thai he wished it made into a college :;
advised them against both plans; later
Mrs. Reddick said that they would give

900; AT another time, during Mrs ReIdick
sickness, she told me that Reddick had made
n will aud had given isis" $4,000 Mary
s., 600; at one Of our conversations Mrs
Reddlck said: "Nm., you have earned this
property, but | have saved it, Let me have
half to dispose of as wish it, and you can
dispose OF the rest as you wish" Mr., Red
dick said that if he lived longest he would
dispose of the whole Of it; if she outlived
him she should dispose Of it; after the death
of Mrs Reldick met Reidick often in my
office; once, shortly after Mrs Redlick'
death, he told me that he would give his
house to the city for college; he would give
the county of La Sale 200 acres of land, be
