And that she was not going to put me through that.
So she left me nothing in order to protect me, and then she had a letter drawn up that explains it, and told Mr Haldane to give it to me only if they contested.
Which they did, on the twenty-ninth of September, eleven days after she died.
What it is worth.
Everything and nothing.
It does not give me a cent and it is not meant to.
What it does is end their case. Not legally — Mr Haldane has been careful about that with me, twice, in that office.
But it is two pages in her own hand, witnessed, from the July, saying in plain terms that she knew exactly what she was doing and that nobody had influenced her.
And a letter like that, in front of anybody who has to make a decision about coercion, is the end of it.
