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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true that the parties intended that the terms of the agreement should be incorporated in the so-called ‘Wool Purchase Contract’ but this was not a condition to the validity of the offer and acceptance. The document was •only a memorial of the completed oral agreement and did not affect its validity. . . . [emphasis supplied] “Generally speaking, a memorandum is sufficient if it sets forth with reasonable certainty the names of the parties to the contract, a description of the goods to which the contract relates and the essential terms and conditions constituting the oral contract, includ ing the consideration, (eit om.) All the essential provisions of the purchase and sale agreement are found in the memorandum.””
