I, SINCLAIR LEWIS, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament.

FIRST: I direct my Executors hereinafter named to pay all my just debts and funeral and testamentary expenses as soon after my decease as may be practicable.

SECOND: I give and bequeath to the YALE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY, New Haven, Connecticut, all my books, manuscripts, private papers and pictures of every sort and description.

THIRD: All the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real, personal, and mixed, and wheresever situated, I give, devise and bequeath as follows:

(A) One-half (1/2) thereof to my Trustees hereinafter named, IN TRUST, nevertheless, to invest the same, and to pay over in quarterly installments the net rents, issues and income therefrom to my former wife, DOROTHY THOMPSON KOPF, for the support and education of our son, MICHAEL LEWIS, until he shall have attained the age of twenty-one (21) years. In the event of the earlier death of my said former wife, I direct my Trustees to continue to invest the same and to apply the net rents, issues and income so created to the support, maintenance and education of our son, MICHAEL LEWIS, until he shall have attained the age of twenty-one (21) years, and thereafter, whether or not my former wife shall then survive, to pay over the same, with accumulations, to the said MICHAEL LEWIS until he shall have attained the age of twenty-five (25) years, at which time the trust shall

terminate and my Trustees shall pay over the corpus thereof
to our son, MICHAEL LEWIS. Should my said son, MICHAEL
LEWIS, die before attaining the age of twenty-five (25) years,
leaving a wife and with or without issue, then end in that
event the principal of the said trust shall be paid over to
such persons as may be distributees of my said son, MICHAEL
LEWIS, under the intestate laws of the State of New York in
effect at the time of his death. In the event of the death
of our said son, MICHAEL LEWIS, leaving no issue or wife, and
before he shall have attained the age of twenty-five (25)
years, I direct my Trustees to pay over the said trust fund
in equal shares to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCE-
MENT OF COLORED PEOPLE and to the NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE.

(B) One-fourth (1/4) in four equal six-
teenths, three of these four sixteenths to my friends,
MARCELLA POWERS AMRINE, CARL VAN DOREN and MRS. SEWELL HAGGARD,
or the survivor or survivors. The fourth equal share (1/16)
I give, devise and bequeath to my faithful driver, JOSEPH
HARDRICK, provided that he either be in my service or under
some form of retainer or pension from me at the time of my
death. Should the said JOSEPH HARDRICK no longer be in my
service or under any form of retainer or pension from me at
the time, or should we be killed in a common accident, I then
give, devise and bequeath his aforesaid share in equal parts
among my friends, MARCELLA POWERS AMRINE, CARL VAN DOREN and
MRS. SEWELL HAGGARD, their survivor or survivors. Should none
of the foregoing persons, to wit: MARCELLA POWERS AMRINE,
CARL VAN DOREN and MRS. SEWELL HAGGARD be living at the time
of my death, I give, devise and bequeath their shares under
this subdivision (B) of Paragraph THIRD, in equal halves to

the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED
PEOPLE and the NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE.

(C) One-fourth (1/4) thereof to my
Trustees hereinafter named, IN TRUST, nevertheless, to invest
the same and pay over in quarterly installments the net rents,
issues and income therefrom to my friend, KATHRYN T. POWERS
for her life; on the death of the said KATHRYN T. POWERS
I direct my said Trustees to pay over the corpus of said
trust in three equal shares of twelfths to my friends,
MARCELLA POWERS AMRINE, CARL VAN DOREN and MRS. SEWELL
HAGGARD. Should, however, any of the foregoing persons be
no longer living at the time of the death of KATHRYN T.
POWERS, then and in that event, I give, devise and bequeath
the share or shares of said persons so dying in equal halves
to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED
PEOPLE and the NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE.

FOURTH: I hereby nominate and appoint my
friends MELVILLE H. CANE and PINCUS BERNER, as Executors and
Trustees of this my Last Will and Testament. I further direct
that my Executors and Trustees shall not be required to
give any bond or undertaking for the faithful performance of
their duties in either capacity because of non-residence or
otherwise.

In the event of the death of both
of the foregoing persons, or of their failure to serve, as
Executors, then and in that event I nominate and appoint the
GUARANTY TRUST COMPANY OF NEW YORK as sole Executor, here-
under. In the event of the death of one of the foregoing
persons, or of his failure to serve, as Trustee hereunder,

Executors and Trustees to retain any investments or securities
and other property of which I may die possessed in such form
as the same may be at the time of my death, and to invest

cretion any part of my estate or the proceeds thereof for
any purpose of my estate or of any trust hereunder; I further
authorize my said Executors and Trustees to make any new in-
vestment according to their discretion without being limited
to those permitted only to savings banks and trust companies
