Letter from James Lyman on Sarah's health and Willie's farm work
Forest Grove, Tuesday Aug 14
Dearest Parents
We read your letter of [?] forgotten the date it came yesterday, [?] it you seem to be somewhat exercised in your mind about my case. But you need not lie, any longer as I am entirely [?]. Sarah is rather better today, as [?].[?] was out from Portland, I’ve got him to come and see her last night: he came again this morning and had us get a strengthening medicine of some kind. She will be all right in a few days I think. Willie and I have been working at the [oats] this morning. W. thinks that cannot get them all into the barn, more than we thought. We could not get all the hay into the space [?] to it and so had to make a small stack. Yesterday we had the first [?] of green corn which was too small. Mary was considerably offended that you wrote so much more about my [?] than about hers.
The weather is very fine warm but not hot, sunny, smokeless, breezy, and not very dusty. Thanks are [?] finely the sound of the hammer and saw is [?] the college building.

Forest Grove, Tuesday Aug 14<br/><br/>Dearest Parents<br/><br/>We read your letter of [?] forgotten the date it came yesterday, [?] it you seem to be somewhat exercised in your mind about my case. But you need not lie, any longer as I am entirely [?]. Sarah is rather better today, as [?].[?] was out from Portland, I’ve got him to come and see her last night: he came again this morning and had us get a strengthening medicine of some kind. She will be all right in a few days I think. Willie and I have been working at the [oats] this morning. W. thinks that cannot get them all into the barn, more than we thought. We could not get all the hay into the space [?] to it and so had to make a small stack. Yesterday we had the first [?] of green corn which was too small. Mary was considerably offended that you wrote so much more about my [?] than about hers. <br/><br/>The weather is very fine warm but not hot, sunny, smokeless, breezy, and not very dusty. Thanks are [?] finely the sound of the hammer and saw is [?] the college building. <br/><br/>Your Loving Son
