ISELIN ET AL. v. UNITED STATES
    [60 C. Cls. 255; 271 U. S. 136]
    Judgment was rendered in favor of the United States in the court below. On appeal the judgment was affirmed, the Supreme Court deciding:
    1. Offer by letter to buy airplane linen from the Government on terms specified, including a warranty of quality, held not to have been accepted by a letter, on behalf of the Government, not acknowledging the other, differing in terms, and presumably based on intervening negotiations not disclosed.
    2. An acceptance upon terms varying from those offered is a rejection of the offer.
   Mr. Chief Justice Taft

delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court May 3, 1926.
