1577. Where payment or delivery of the thing is to be made at the domicile of the debtor or at the place where the thing is located, a written notice given to the creditor by the debtor that he is ready to perform the obligation there has the same effect as a tender.
Where payment or delivery of the thing need not be so made and it is difficult to transport the thing to the place where it is to be made, the debtor may, in writing, require the creditor to advise him of his willingness to accept the thing, if he has reason to believe that the creditor will refuse it; if the creditor fails to advise the debtor of his willingness in due time, the debtor need not transport the thing to the place where it is to be paid or delivered and his notice to the creditor has the same effect as a tender.
