“.“The statute has provided that ‘an offer in writing to pay a particular sum of money is, if not accepted, equivalent to an actual production and tender of the money’; but it was not the intention- of the Legislature thereby to dispense with the readiness and ability on the part of the one making the tender to pay in substantial accord "with its terms.” ■”
