I have a photocopy of both the will and inventory. In the will, "Peter" is written with a small "p". In the inventory, the word "Peter" was written with a capital "P", but the "tail" of the "P" fell below the line and because it was unusually short, could be mistaken for a "D" if not scruitinized. The word "Newport" is quite clear, both in the will and in the inventory. The third slave was spelled "fillis" in the will and "fhillis" in the inventory.
