Ervin G. Christlip:

Dear Cousin: Excuse me for asking you as to a certain question which seems to be already answered by but fearing a possible error I repeat the question

On the sheet I sent sent you I spelt your name “I-r-v-i-n”. And I take that the name “Irvin Ch----” on the sheet I sent you with the names of family following means yourself and should be written: “Ervin G. Christlip” and also that you are the son of Abram Christlip. I will draw out a statement of your branch beginning with Abram setting forth all with dates as given by you and you can examine it and return it with your report, making corrections if necessary. If I have not given this anywhere near correct so as to make it available for giving the information desired state it on another piece of paper as it should be.

I have written to cousins Lemuel and Turner(?) for information as to their families as you suggested.
