One clause, in which Smith appears to disinherit future spouses and children, is particularly intriguing for law classes. It's something a man would write if he might have illegitimate children, professors said. Why would it be in Smith's will? Was she an egg donor? Did she give a baby up for adoption? Or, was it just language carelessly copied from a template?
Pretty interesting. I've thought all along that Howard wrote that will up, and had an under the influence Anna sign off on it.
At first, I was a little shocked at what people had to say about HKS. Notice that Anna's close friends described her as a devoted mother, and a genuinely nice person who donated to charity. One would never know given her public demeanor : (
That claus is one that makes me believe the Indian baby story is real. Exactly what HKS would stick in there to get back at that child for existing.
