Curious Wills and a Mysterious Till Bequest
In 1796 two English executors faced a puzzling discrepancy between their friend's will and the estate accounts. A scrap reading "£700 to be taken out of Till" led them to search the library, find Bishop Tillotson’s sermons, and recover £700 in banknotes from a volume titled Till.
