1. ““The rule with a long line of supporting authorities is stated in 32 C.J.S., Evidence, § 958, page 889, as follows: ‘Where the statement in a written instrument as to the consideration is more than a mere statement of fact or acknowledgement of payment of a money consideration, and is of a contractual nature, as where the consideration consists of a specific and direct promise by one of the parties to do certain things, this part of the contract can no more be changed or modified by parol or extrinsic evidence than any other part, for a party has the right to make the consideration of his agreement of the essence of the contract, and when this is done the provision as to the consideration for the contract must stand on the same plane as the other provisions of the contract with reference to conclusiveness and immunity from attack by parol or extrinsic evidence . .’ ” 122 Mont. at 288-289 , 201 P.2d at 988 .”
