"Testament of William Leckie" is a handwritten will written by William Leckie, a merchant living in Paramaribo, Surinam, in 1822. The document, written in English, outlines the distribution of Leckie's estate upon his death, which occurred in April 1824. The document lists the distribution of Leckie's property among his family members including his wife, children, and siblings. The small size and handwritten nature of the piece classifies it as a historical document, and it likely would have been intended for a small audience of close family members.
