Langellier v. Schaefer

36 Minn. 361 (1887)

Facts

Langellier (P) wrote Schaefer (D) a letter inquiring if his lot was for sale. D replied with a price, and then P wrote what purported to be an acceptance of D's offer but stated a large number of terms different than called for in D's offer to sell. P sued D and D answered with a denial of a contract. P demurred to D's answer, and that demurrer was sustained. D appealed.
