CONTRACTS.

CONTRACTS.
4. Contracts by Mail, Telegraph,
Telephone,
Every contract includes an offer
and an acceptance.
An offer or proposal for contract
may be made In person, py agent, by
telegraph, or by letter, and an assent
to it or an acceptance Of it may be
given In the same manner.
If the proposition is made by letter,
and is sent by mail, the person max
ing the offer may retract by subse-
quent letter which reaches the offeree
at any time before an answer Of &C.
ceptance has been written and put iD
mail.
Example: A In Detroit mails q
letter an Friday to B In New York
offering to sell him five hundred dozen
eggs at eight cents dozen, This
letter reaches B Saturday noon
Saturday morning A writes letter to
B Withdrawing his offer, which letter
reaches B Monday morning, while he
is In the act Of writing letter &C.
cepting the offer. 1t Is too late for
him to mail the letter and thereby
accept it.
AS soon as an acceptance is put into
the contract it Is closed as to both
parties.
Example: On Friday, A in Detroit
writes letter to B in New York,
Offering him five hundred dozen eggs
at eight cents a dozen. The letter
reaches B Saturday neon. Saturday
afternoon at 3 o'clock B writes u letter
accepting the offer and deposits it in
the mail box provided by the post
office authorities, at the street corner,
On the O'Clock delivery B receives a
letter from A withdrawing his offer
AS withdrawal is too late; the con
tract was closed at o'clock.
An acceptance by letter takes effect
from the time when it is mailed and
not from the time of its receipt by the
pirty making the offer.
A retraction, however, takes effect
when the letter Of retraction is re-
ceived and not at the time Of mailing
il.
The law as to the making Of con-
tracts by letter, telegraph, etc, grew
out of the spractice in early days Of
transmitting communications by pri
vate agencies, In an early case it was
decided that sale was complete when
the letter Of acceptance was mailed in
response to a letter containing the
offer, the court merely deciding that
by sending the offer through the mai
the offerer made the mail his agent
for the receipt Of his acceptance,
The theory is therefore that where
a man mrking an offer uses the United
States mail for the purpose OF trans
hitting his offer he makes the post
office department his: agent, and an
acceptance delivered to an agent is
the same as If delivered TO the prin.
cipal. 1t is on this theory that con.
tract is complete when the acceptance
is delivered to the postofiice for trans
mission: while rstraction is not com.
plete until IT Is delivered to the per-
son to whom it is addressed. the mail
