Where a lessor sends to a lessee copies of a proposed lease which the lessee-'signs and retains without notifying the lessor, pending action of the lessor on a request for a lease containing different terms, there was no valid acceptance of the proposed lease so as to bind the lessor, as the lessee’s assent thereto was merely mental.8.
