Whereas R. A. Jameson caused my land to be sold for going his security and hold his note for two hundred and sixty two dollars due January the 26th day 1866.  I will and desire that
if the R. A. Jameson failes to pay off the said two hundred and sixty two dollars with interest on the same in my lifetime so that I get the money in hand, that his children, my grandchildren,
