Letter
This folded sheet of writing paper was from the personal stationery of Charles L. Freer. It is slightly yellowed and the sender's address, "33 Ferry Avenue," is printed at the top in black text. The paper also has a watermark that shows "Scribner's Vellum." The handwritten text is transcribed as follows:
"Hon. W. C. Maybury,
Mayor etc.,
My Dear Sir:
In compliance with your courteous request, I have taken pleasure in writing a few lines on the "Possibilities of Detroit as a Manufacturing Center," and beg to hand you the same herewith enclosed.
Your plans to entertain our friends of a century hence is excellent and I only regret that my little paper is not more worthy of the occasion.
With every good wish and heartiest New Year greetings, I am,
Faithfully yours,
Charles L. Freer."
