He directs his two Executors to continue his business up until the end of the lease, giving an annuity of £40 to his wife out of the proceeds. At the end of the lease, all the stock and other effects of the business are to be sold and invested.

In October 1842 he wrote a codicil in which he added his wife to the other two Executers (ie Peter and William Burgess).
