On February 10, 1813 a letter written from Eliason to Henshaw proposing to buy flour at Georgetown and asking “Please write by return of wagon whether you accept our offer” to Harper’s Ferry. The letter was delivered to Henshaw on the 14th, but the wagoner informed them that he would not be returning to Harper's Ferry. Henshaw wrote in acceptance on the 15th and the letter was sent by the regular mail carriage to Georgetown on the 19th, the next available wagon. Eliason sent a reply on the 25th acknowledging the receipt of the letter, but said that the response was too late as it was not returned by the wagon. Henshaw sued for non-performance. | On February 10, 1813 a letter written from Eliason to Henshaw proposing to buy flour at Georgetown and asking “Please write by return of wagon whether you accept our offer” to Harper’s Ferry.
