Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York June 12, 1908 (Beatty v. Godwin)

Miller, J.:

We are confronted with the task of construing a will evidently prepared by one unlearned in the law and unskilled in the use of language.. Much that the testator said is ambiguous, and it is evident that he has only succeeded in part in expressing what he intended to say and doubtless supposed he did say.
