Y. 649) by the person who is under obligation, or his agent (11 Ga. 570), and an offer to the creditor or his agent (46 Barb. [N. Y.] 227) absolutely and without condition, to which the creditor may rightfully object (39 N. Y. 481), of the exact amount due, but tender of an excessive amount is good if no change is asked in return (25 Ind. 261), and the tender must be kept good by continued readiness to pay or deliver the amount or property tendered (24 Vt. 536; 86 111. 431).
