Is “I called cousin and told him that you would call him by tomorrow.” correct?

My uncle asked me to telephone my cousin and tell him that he (my uncle) will telephone to my cousin. So I sent a reply to my uncle saying:

I called cousin and told him that you would call him by tomorrow.

Is the statement correct?

Answer

The only mistake is that you cannot call cousin. You can call your cousin or call Bob or call a cousin. Apart from that, your sentence is perfectly correct:

I called my cousin and told him that you would call him.
