The context in
most cases readily suggests whether the word added by the hook is will or all.

355. Write the following:
such will such will be such will become such will (con)sider such will make such will never such will receive
such will recognize
such will render
such will reply
such will require
such will respect
such will sometimes such will soon
356. A stroke to which l hook is prefixed for the purpose of adding will or all may not only be written at the beginning of a phrase, as already illustrated, but may be added to a preceding stroke, provided it does not cause an awkward junction (as in the phrase I know it will) or
tend to illegibility. Illustrations: I hope it will
whether they will

Write the following:
I hope it will
I hope it will be
I hope it will soon be
I hope they will
in which they will
I think it will
I think it will make
I trus(t) it will be
I trus(t) it will make I trus(t) they will whether it will whether it will be whether it will make whether it will receive whether they will whether they will make
(For Mr. Graham's method of expressing all or will by enlarging an r hook, see Paragraphs 374-5.)
