7. Acceptance must be absolute.—In order to convert a proposal into a promise, the acceptance

must—

(1) be absolute and unqualified;

If the proposal prescribes a manner in which it is to be accepted, and the acceptance is not made in such manner, the proposer may, within a reasonable time after the acceptance is communicated to him, insist that his proposal shall be accepted in the prescribed manner, and not otherwise; but if he fails to do so, he accepts the acceptance.
