Help reading typed /overtyped 1930s Will please

[charlotteCH]

Can I have help please in deciphering what appears to be the overtyped last para of a will that I think was made and signed in 1930sin Moose Jaw.

I've tried using a mirror but can't make out what the typed words are where there appear to be  two layers of typing.
 [ b]The date of the signing is the most significant thing... 20th day of October but which year? [/b]
The singatures are not relevant.

Any help, comments  much appreciated and thanks,

charlotte

Hi Charlotte,

Any use?

[dollylee]

I would have guess the date of the will at 1978 but am not sure that is possible with the under/over typing showing a date of 1951.

This is very bizarre but does state "in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. In probate".

Are you able to make it out now charlotte?

Charlotte,

Year looks like 1938  Didn't have my glasses on, and it looked like a 3   Sorry Charlotte


Cheers

Edited :but as Dolly said, it looks like 1978

[dollylee]

looking at the title of this thread KHP I think you were right the first time 

It is hard to imagine under what circumstances it would be considered proper form
to type this message on the will whether it is a copy or not.

I can't wait for charlotte to return and possibly enlighten us.

Dolly,

Its just that it looks like a shape of a 3 to me, there is a faint circle which looks like the bottom half of a 3, but the word underneath makes it hard to decide.

Will just have to wait for Charlotte.

The curl does make it look like a 3 but I have tried to match the type and all the 3s I come up with have a rounded top not a flat top

1938

1978

I'm sure it is a 7

(sorry the font doesn't paste into here - but it does show what I mean)

The more you look at it, 7 stands out.

I think it could be a "2". Look at the copy which Tati reversed and you can see a flat tail of a "2" Would 1928 makes more sense for you, it would fit well with the 'elderly looking' typing

Ps The flat tail doesnt belong to the Josephine which it overlays. Tricky though!
