Audrey:

Below is what some good friends of mine came up with regarding your document. The handwriting was quite a challenge for them. There were a several words they couldn't quite make out. However, their general summary of the document is as follows along with their transcription:

"Our basic understanding is that the daughter was receiving her inheritance from her father. And probably she was receiving it in advance of when the rest of the inheritors were to receive their inheritance. I'm sure the researcher knows that in other countries, Notaries are more like lawyers than here in the US. I imagine the Notary was drawing up this legal document for the daughter, her husband and her father to memorialize the money the father was giving to the daughter."
