  will 
  left 
  in 
  trust 
  to 
  the 
  city 
  

   of 
  Philadelphia 
  and 
  to 
  be 
  intrusted 
  to

  custodianship 
  when 
  the 
  

   Municipal 
  Museum 
  now 
  in 
  course 
  of 
  construction 
  is 
  completed. 
  Not- 
  

   withstanding 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  much 
  shortage 
  of 
  storage 
  space 
  in 
  

   the 
  halls 
  occupied 
  by 
  the 
  national 
  collections, 
  the 
  acceptance 
  of 
  this 
  

   rich 
  collection 
  for 
  a 
  limited 
  period 
  is 
  regarded 
  with 
  much 
  favor.
