El..e Slecht Will 

Note - presumably this last name refers to the identity of the deceased & will, and the annexure. The document is a little confusing as to who died as it does not name the deceased. Nanfan was still alive at this as were Stephen and Engeltie, so it is none of them. M. Clarkson is presumably the clerk registering the document which was issued by Nanfan. The name at the end looks suspiciously like Elsie but it is not clear, however the document refers to the deceased a "his death".
