1Opinion of the Court
1. When it is necessary to show that a contract by correspondence was effected by the acceptance of an offer, such is not shown by the evidence that a telegram was sent and received, even though the telegram in effect stated that the offer was accepted, unless it be shown that the acceptance was by the party to whom the offer was made.
2. Moreover, the offer must be accepted unequivocally, unconditionally, and without variance of any sort, and it must be assented to in the same sense.
3. Under each and both of the foregoing principles, the court properly awarded a nonsuit in this case.
