old lady, without near relatives. she
had many charitable associations to

will required much patience. skill and
time. Among the provisions she made
u generous bequest to this lawyer and
nominated him executor.
After the execution of the will she
called for her bill. whereupOn the law

charged would have been 500.

will. set herself to work and copied II
