the statutes in the various American

The writing is merely evidence of the
contract 1t may be made at any
time after the contract has been
agreed upon, up to the time Of suit.
The writing need not be a formal
document to comply with this statute.
ANY note or memorandum is sufficient
so long as it contains all the material
terms as the names of the parties, the
subject matter, the consideration
given, ETC. There may be several
papers, as a series of letters or tele-
grams, so long as they are consist

may appear at any point, and may be
affixed either by the party himself or
his authorized agent. Thus at an
auction the auctioneer is the agent o;
both parties and if his memo contains
the essential terms his entry of the
names of the parties will amount to
the necessary signature and complete
the required writing.
The law of some states requires thai
some contracts be under seal as wei

have been abolished. In all states
the tendency is to lessen their eft
