Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Oct. 6, 1890, is the date named in agreement for my decision but I now give you notice that on that day I shall be ready to receive the cash and turn my interest over to you and Frank or to whom you may order.
