Continuation of the handwritten bequest list begun on page 84. In pencil in Mary Anne Perry FitzSimons (‘Minnie’)'s hand — the compiler Amy’s mother, d. 1934. The top three lines list jewelry already given (‘She has given / My bracelets / My watch’); a marginal bracket labelled ‘Given to Amy as her own’ attaches to the ‘Plain table silver’ line that follows; the residue clause directs the ordinary furniture to be divided among the four siblings as they think best. A note in the right margin (written sideways) repeats the heading ‘List of things given me from the old home.’ The lower half of the page is blank. ‘Minnie’ is the family nickname for Mary Anne Perry FitzSimons, matching p084.
