Vassar and Others Against Camp and Others.

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the contract for the delivery of ten thousand bushels of barley became binding on both parties when the plaintiffs deposited the signed duplicate contract in the post office on September 4, 1850. The court affirmed the lower court's judgment. A concurring opinion agreed with the result but emphasized that the defendants' letter of August 30 was a new proposal rather than an acceptance.
