Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““December 8, 1941. “Mrs. Marjorie Mondell Landa, 1300 - 30th Street, N.W., Washington, D. O. “Dear Marjorie: “In order to remove an ambiguity in the Note Agreement and in order to avoid an unintended result, I propose to begin the payments upon the Note as of December 15, 1941, to be applied in the same manner as if the Note were dated December 15, 1941. These payments, however, will cease after the payment due April 15, 1942 if the final decree of divorce has not been issued and if I am convinced that you do not intend faithfully to prosecute the proceedings for a final decree of divorce. “If this is agreeable to you, please indicate your acceptance in the space below and return two executed copies to me. “Very truly yours, /s/ Alfons Beaumont Landa Alfons Beaumont Landa “Accepted: /s/ Marjorie Mondell Landa Marjorie Mondell Landa””
