be more explicit as to the financial
support (above that which patients IN
this memorial must pay) OF this
grand charity and the endowment
fund, made secure and paid by my
self.
l have leased this year, 1915, for 90
(ninety-nine) years at 100000 per
per year payable in quarterly INSTALL
ments, $50000 every three months,
my lot on Baltimore avenUe, Kansas
City, Missouri. This lot is No. 13.
Block 90. The lessee is to bind him
self to nut a substantial brick bust
ness house on the said lot this 1915.
At the expiration of the 80 ninety
nine) years the lot and building re-
turn to me and are my property (see
article of agreement.) 1t is my will
that this lease with the quarterly
payments Of $5O0.G0 ($2,000.00 a
YEAR, and the said Baltimore avenue
building, l bequeath Cat the end of
the 90 (ninety-Tline) years to tie said
Irvine and Mcdowell Hospital as an
endowment fund.
l certainly expect that the board of
GOOD men that l have selected will
know for what these funds are used.
and that they are not Squandered and
wasted; that they are only used when
positively required for frugal eX-
penses. They will readily see this to
be their high and conscientious duty,
for remember one of the provisions
in this writing gives Irvinton this
grand devise as a public square OF
park as a breathing spot to the city
of Richmond if the hospital should
labor under difficulties and have fail
ed in the purpose intended.
But it is my sincere and cherished
desire that the dear old home Of my
childhood be enjoyed by the SICK Its
grateful sunshine and shadow bring
to them renewed life and vigor.
1t is my will and 1, therefore, ded-
icate Irvinton for the purpose herein
stated, with a prayer that the Great
God of our fathers will bless and
smile upon what have done, and will
preserve it from the evil attending
so many earthly enterprises.
It is my will that the front entrance
hall of Irvinton, between the parlor
and dining room, remain as it now is;
that the handsome leather chairs, pic
lures, hat rack, sofas,- the hanging
court of arms of Irvines and Mellow
ellis, my brothers David's full length
mirror; these must all remain in this
hall. 1t is my will that no remunera-
tion shall be demanded by my execu-
tors for this devise to Irvineton, but
shall require that from the proceeds
of my estate, $5,000.00 shall be used
to pay for a large and handsome
granite monument which shall be
erectad hv the hoard I have herein
