LEWIS, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I concur unqualifiedly in the reversal of the judgments in the Hitch, Jr., and Hitch, Sr., cases, and concur in the affirmance of the judgments in the Buster and the Hitch Land Company cases because I cannot say that the finding of the trial court holding Phillips’ promise to furnish gas to be without limitation as to time is clearly erroneous. However, I believe the record would support a finding that Phillips’ promise was limited to the supplying of gas in accordance with the actual contract submitted to Buster and signed by him but subsequently rejected by Phillips. I would prefer such a finding and a consequent limitation upon the relief granted.
