Letter from James Lyman on moving to Hood River to teach
Oct 24 1881
Thou maps of agglutinated adolescence, [?] on account of your bilateral now=development, I loath the thought of you but like the [?] given [?] that the oak leaves and spindle down on the hearts of papers thou don’t custom thy wiggle [?] before my path.
It is [?] that I have not [spared] very fully to your letters in my [?] , probably because of their [?] lack of anything to draw attention to [?] How? I approved of what you said about my plan of [?] of F.G . It would probably be better to presume such a plan at Hood River. Thou at F.G. I have written to the Duncans, stating the case as well as I could, endeavoring to [?] the scheme plainly, and asking them to help if they wished. Of course it would be [?] to say [?] they will think of it.
I think Hood River would be preferable to Walla Walla. It would be more flexiable. An institution at Walla Walla would have to be more on the rigid system usually prescribed for academics. Then Walla W. has so many other attractions for boys, such as salons, that it would be harder to get an influence of [?] [?] [?] the students. The natural scenery of the Hood River Region would be a means of education, influcening the higher foundations of imaginations and out, in [?] , which other forces lack. The reaction of students would naturally be by climbing mountains etc, [?] would open to the, nature’s beauties, while natural [?] for illustrations of geology, [?] and [?] , one at [?] at the [?][?] . The reaction of students at Walla Walla would be by hooping around town. Hood River is very acceptable, and [?] [?] and artists, and quest men will be there much. From such motions it will be easy to find [?] , to is tired and [?] the bay. Besides the local supply, children can be got from Portland and the Dalles.
If I were there I should wish to be spend my summers in [?] about over the hills, and taking trips out to all the [?] of [?] and to the lakes and [?] of the people slope. By taking half a dozen boys with me I might get into them a love of science and nature , as well as be supplying the needs of my own mind.
You suggest that I bring home with me the young lady who can do everything. This shows how your mind was, it would probably take more of a man than I am to do it.
Good Bye.
