Item of Apparel
« on: Thursday 27 July 17 10:48 BST (UK) »
In a Will of 1699 the attached was willed to three of her sister's daughters. Does anyone recognise what they might be? I am assuming they are something to wear, but I might be wrong.
Thanks. Toby.

Hard to wear even one sheep in its raw form.

I hadn't considered 'sheep'. However the 4th & 5th letters of three  are identical to the 3rd & 4th letters in the next word, so I suppose it must be sheep. Looks like an s at the end but maybe that was 'ow them spoke. T

The last character is a colon.
