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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘The letter of February 7, 1911, following the last sale of merchandise, states, We had expected to hear from you to-day with the form of assignment agreement, and if you have not given this matter your attention we most kindly ask that you do so immediately, as we would like to have this matter put in shape in accordance with the terms of sale.’ Whitehouse, in answer to the question, what was done in reference to putting the talk into the form of an agreement, said: ‘When we had the merchandise ready for delivery, I drew up a form of assignment, which I submitted to Stiger and Thompson, and there were some objections to its form, and they arranged to have another assignment drawn úp, and there was considerable talk as to that. Then an assignment was submitted to me and X made some corrections or suggestions, and finally we had one drawn up which was mutually satisfactory.’ ””
