It notes that an offer can be withdrawn if no consideration exists, and that death of the offerer revokes offers unless acceptance has begun. An example covers timing of acceptance and withdrawal effects.

The example shows A in Detroit selling eggs after B in New York mails acceptance, making A liable for damages.
