Professor Dow:   
-2-

I am hoping that you will not let my absence prevent your using my house while you are here. There is plenty of room and plenty of servants to take care of you. They will see that you have whatever comfort the house contains and perfect liberty to come and go as you choose. Your meals will be served whatever hour you like them, and Stephen, my keeper, will show you, whenever you are in the mood, whatever objects in the Collection you would most care to see.

If you will send a telegram addressed to me at my office, as above, saying on what date and what train you will arrive in Detroit, Stephen, the keeper of my Collection, will meet you at the train and take you to my house, and I am hoping you can remain until I get home on Sunday morning, the 10th of January, and that you can remain a few days after I get here. However, if your time is too much occupied to await my return, I hope that you will use my house as your own and make yourself as comfortable as you can.

I don't know when I have been so keenly disappointed as I am in this matter, and I hope that you will enjoy your stay in our City.

Believe me, with cordial greetings and wishing you a very Happy New Year, I remain,

Very sincerely yours,
Charles L. Freer
