Rotch's Will that relates to the Charity School
	      
Having for many years past been very
                  
desirous of promoting the Establishment
	      
of a benevolent institution for the education
                  
of destitute orphans and indigent children
                  
more particularly those whose parents are of
                  
depraved morals that they may be trained up
                  
in habits of industry & economy.  It is my
                  
will that my executors convert the remainder
                  
of my property both real and personal into
                  
money as soon as practicable, and place the
                  
same in permanent funds the interest of which
	      
to be solely applied to said institution.
                    
     Should the amount  be sufficient to attach a
                   
farm thereto so that a portion of the boys
                   
time may be devoted to the laudable pursuit
                   
of agriculture and a part of the girls time
                   
to be devoted to the duties of housewifery.
                   
whereby they may support themselves, and become
                           
useful members of society, and where also a
         	       
sufficient portion of their time may be devoted
                   
to the enquiring a common English Education.
                   
it would more fully comport with my views.
                     
Should the amount not be sufficient
                   
fully to accomplish said object and no
                   
other funds be added to second my efforts
                    
it is my will that the interest of said
                    
fund be solely applied to the instruction
                    
of such children in a common English
                    
Education.
