1. Contracts; Telegraphic Message as Medium of Communication; Confirmatory
Letter.—Under the second paragraph of article 51 of the Code of Commerce, as the
same stood prior to its repeal by Act No. 3089, telegraphic correspondence could
not serve as a basis of obligation between contracting parties who had not
admitted this medium in a written contract, nevertheless where telegraphic
communications are followed by letters expressly referring to the telegrams and
confirming the same, such telegrams become admissible as part of the
correspondence between the parties.
