"1. He is to accept provisionally by letter addressed to my
Executors a sum of nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand pounds
sterling free of all Duties Taxes or other imposts. This he will
hold for a period of six months from the date of the Reading of my
Last Will and have user of the accruements thereto calculated at the
rate of ten per centum per annum which amount he shall under no
circumstances be required to replace. At the end of said six months
he must express in writing directed to the Executors of my Will his
acceptance or refusal of the other conditions herein to follow. But
if he may so choose he shall be free to declare in writing to the
Executors within one week from the time of the Reading of the Will
his wish to accept or to withdraw altogether from the responsibility
of this Trust. In case of withdrawal he is to retain absolutely and
for his own use the above-mentioned sum of nine hundred and ninety-
nine thousand pounds sterling free of all Duties Taxes and imposts
whatsoever making with the specific bequest of one thousand pounds a
clear sum of one million pounds sterling free of all imposts. And he
will from the moment of the delivery of such written withdrawal cease
to have any right or interest whatsoever in the further disposition
of my estate under this instrument. Should such written withdrawal
be received by my Executors they shall have possession of such
residue of my estate as shall remain after the payment of the above
sum of nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand pounds sterling and the
payment of all Duties Taxes assessments or Imposts as may be entailed
by law by its conveyance to the said Rupert Sent Leger and these my
Executors shall hold the same for the further disposal of it
according to the instructions given in the letter marked C and which
is also an integral part of my Last Will and Testament.
