Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, in business law, as long as both parties did not sign a contractual document, the purchase is not legal.

In this case, it could be observed that Ganze only "mailed an acceptance" not a signed document between both parties agreeing on the purchase of her antique car.

Also, the fact that she quickly sent a telegram letting Archer know that she is rejecting the offer, shows that she acted in good fate to withdraw her acceptance on time.
