      …if the said Margaret Heinrich shall faithfully fulfill and perform due and true administrations of the Estate belonging to the said infant Mary Lorentz also keep and give free and correct account thereof and also give and pay over to the said Mary Lorentz, when she shall [come?] upon the full age of twenty one years, or sooner whenever the said Guardianship shall determine or whenever else she shall and may be desired by the Judge of the said Court…

      Margaret Heinrich accepts the appointment of Guardian.
