Is there someone that could translate a last will and testament for me?
I've found the last will and testament of my 5th-great-grandfather Walter Lewis (FamilySearch ID LZTK-3Q9) from Wales. Probate Date 10 Jun 1857. Is there someone that could translate it for me? His begins on the bottom left page.

Since the will for Walter Lewis is only about one page it should not take too long to transcribe but the image attached is not clear enough to work with very well. Please provide the film number and image number so I can look at an image with better quality. This is in English but hard to read. We can help if we can look at a better image.

This will is in English but the image quality is too poor to read the attached image. If you will share the film number and image number I can help you with it.

@Darris Williams Thank you! Clearly I'm a novice. I'm not sure where to pull the film number and image number. Does this screenshot have the info you need? I found this document on Ancestry, here's the link: https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/5111/images/40611_311590-00610?treeid=31870714&personid=422271504346&hintid=1016767271627&usePUB=true&_phsrc=hPE869&_phstart=default&usePUBJs=true&pId=665095

@MelSnyder I missed the update to your request for help and am sorry for the delay. Your link to the image on Ancestry works perfectly. I will get this read for you before the end of this week.

There are two or three spots I was not sure about which are marked by underlining.

Just out of interest the Welsh word 'cwm' (pronounced cum, sort of) mentioned in the will means valley.
