Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The contract was formed on September 4. Under the mirror image rule, John could not orally accept George's offer - he had to send the letter. Under the mailbox rule, the mailing of the letter was the effective date of acceptance, and therefore the contract was formed when John's letter was mailed on September 4.
