A debtor's relict having written in the postscript of a letter, not to the creditor, but to a third party, these words:

“Shew such a person that if I were come, &c. she shall be paid, &c. if it be His holy will to spare me;”

the Lords found that these words not only imported a resolution, but an obligation. See Appendix.

Fol. Dic. v. 2. p. 16.
