Letter from Margaret Lyman on family health, photographs, and a forgotten umbrella
Union Falls, Clinton Co. N.Y.
Feb. 2nd 1883
My Darling Husband,
Your kind loving letter was rec'd Wed. P.M.
Was sorry to hear by enclosed letter of M's poor health. Hope you will not be over anxious about her as it seems probable that rest is what she needs. I had hoped to write to our dear ones in Oregon & send it with this, to you: but fear I shall not have time before the stage comes_ if not will try to write it & send to you tomorrow. Would prefer to have you see it & if you do not approve of it have you burn it, instead of sending it. Our photographs have not yet arrived. Perhaps I forgot to write to you, that you left your umbrella in the house, here, instead of putting it into the stage. The weather is somewhat colder though not nearly so severe as it was before we left.
We heard from James that he reached home in about 40 hours after leaving us: but perhaps you have heard from him. He sent regards to you. The stage has come & I must close. With an exceeding amount of love.
Your Margaret
