It took place on the twentieth day of the month of January in the year of eighteen forty, in the Town of Pinczow in Szydlow County, in Krakow Governorate. Before me, Marcin Romanowski, a Notary Public for Szydlow County, empowered to accept voluntary acts, maintaining my office at the castle in the County Town of Szydlow, after I arrived at the aforementioned site, personally appeared the Jew Mosiek Dawid Gertner, the owner of the house situated at no. 192 in Mirow, Town of Pinczow, known to me the Notary, having a legal capacity, residing in the Town of Pinczow, and in the presence of the undermentioned witnesses, not subject to any exclusion, he loudly made a voluntary oral statement: I bequeath the sum of 200 Polish zlotys to my daughter Szayndla Malka and her fiancé Josek Szydlowski as a dowry and a trousseau, and secure it with the storeroom which is located in this house, with the clear proviso that this sum will not be paid out until after the death of the declarant, and that, until this payout is made, they must remain in the room in the father’s house and share tax expenses. After this act was read aloud, he signed it in the presence of the Jews Leyb Zeyd and Herszek Kelerman, both from Pinczow, and me, the Notary.
