Their names are not omitted because they are not thought of, but the disposition I have made of my estate herein is made after mature deliberation, and is so made in order to secure as near as I can full equality between my children. "Seventh - I nominate my son Harry B.

I desire it sold at private sale if it can be done at a price not less than thirty dollars per acre. If it is not so sold on or before the final Tuesday in October after my decease, then I direct it to be divided into lots of such size as will suit purchasers, and that these lots be sold at public auction after due advertisement. I desire the public sale made as soon as possible after the first Tuesday in October aforesaid, and I desire my executor to close up my estate as soon as possible after my decease without litigation or contestion if it can be avoided. I authorize and impower my executor before nominated in my will, to make sales of my lands as directed herein, make deeds to purchasers and to do all things necessary to carry out my will and this codicil as fully as if done by myself."
