I've encountered the following in a will
"… by accounts lately received from Jamaica it appears that my son John is coming home from there on a sick certificate so that he is not likely to live …"
Apart from the obvious re. John's health can anyone tell me please what I can learn from the above, e.g. what might it tell me about John's employment in Jamaica? I'm thinking it maybe means he was an army officer.
Thank you
Annie
