Johnson v. Veale

This appeal was taken from an order which revoked an order admitting to probate as decedent’s last will a letter written, dated and signed by her reading as follows:

“May 19th, 1936 121, Cromwell Road,

S. W. 7.

Dear Mr. Thomas Milan:

Thank you for your kind letter and the cheque. I do not think it is quite fair to you.

However the building & lot will be turned over to you one day—for I haven’t any relations that would be bothered with them—as they have all they want or need so please accept them.

We are moving to a smaller flat this week & it is very much better for me for there are no elevators…
