Justin owned four speedboats named porpoise, Priscilla, Providence, and Prudence. On April 2, Justin made written offers to sell the four boats in the order named for $4,200 each to Charles, Diane, Edward, and Fran, respectively, allowing ten days for acceptance. Was a contract formed in either c or d? and why?
c. Edward, on April 3, replied that he was interested in buying Providence But declared the price appeared slightly excessive and wondered if, perhaps, Justin would be willing to sell the boat for $3,900. Five days later, having received no reply from Justin, Edward accepted Justin's offer by letter, and enclosed a certified check for $4,200.
d. Fran was accidentally killled in an automobile accident on April 9. The following day, the executor of her estate mailed an acceptance of Justin's offer to Justin.
