The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““Dear Sir: Confirming our conversation over the phone last night, beg to say that we will advance ten cents per pound ‘basis middling’ on such cotton as you may ship us, we to use the cotton and settle with you on our basis limit at any time between now and March 1, 1913, your option as to date. When you report the cotton as sold to us, settlement will be made as between us at the difference between ten cents and the basis price you sell at. No charge will be made for interest or insurance. We presume you are shipping the three hundred bales to-day. If you have more we would be glad to use not to exceed one thousand bales on about the same basis.””
