On March 1, 1962, the Clay Products Company wrote Potter offering to supply up to five million bricks at the rate of $128 per thousand, and expressly agreeing to keep the offer open until May 1. On April 1 the Clay Products Company wrote Potter withdrawing their proposition, and Potter received this letter on April 2. On April 3 Potter wrote the Clay Products Company stating that he accepted their proposition and renouncing their attempt to withdraw the offer, in as much as they had given Potter two months in which to accept.
