267 244 #33 Ferry Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, July 11th, 1904 Dear Cousin:- Replying to your letter of recent date, I think that Lottie and her family always consider you as they do me, a distant cousin, and, as I am in the habit of addressing my letters to her as cousin, I suggest that you do the same. The relations between the Viele's and Townsend's, I have never quite fully understood, but, of course, the Whaley's and my mother understood all the facts. I have always been content and pleased with the term "cousin", and I fancy it is all right. Lottie's husband seems to be a very simple but genuine man, and I believe they get on most perfectly together. Catherine Whaley lives with them, and I believe they are all quite happy. My health is excellent at present, and I hope that you are keeping quite well. With kind regards, Yours very truly, Charles L. Freer Charles V. Lang, Esq., #3109 Eleventh Ave. South, Minneapolis, Minn.
