Description
PER CURIAM: Plaintiff brought suit to specifically enforce the option-to-purchase portion of a 5-year lease which he and defendant-owner executed March 14, 1971. Inter alia, the contract reserved $85 per month rent unto defendant, which plaintiff faithfully paid, and provided that plaintiff ""may purchase at any time said property [during the] next 5 years for the purchase price of $22,000."" 1 The Circuit Court of Lawrence County obliged plaintiff and defendant appealed. Defendant was a single woman when the contract relating to her farm was signed. She had no dealings with plaintiff prior to execution. All of plaintiff's negotiations had been with defendant's father who did not testify at trial. Defendant and her father drafted the ""Lease with Option to Purchase"" before it was taken to a notary public for typing. After some handwritten alterations were made, all initialed by defendant, the instrument was duly signed.
