“I agree to purchase the above-described property. at price and terms named.

Seld, 1. While the writing locates the land at a designated corner of two-named streets in the City of Atlanta, Georgia, and gives the length of the respective four sides of the lot in feet, it does not disclose on which street either of the sides abuts, or give other data from which the precise land can be located.

2. The description being so vague as not to furnish means for identifying the property intended to be sold, the instrument will not serve as a basis of an action for damages for the breach of a contract. Gatins v. Angier, 104 Ga. 386 (30 S. E. 876); Crawford v. Verner, 122 Ga. 814 (50 S. E. 958) ; Tippins v. Phillips, 123 Ga. 415 (51 S. E. 410).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices eoneur.
