Letter from Mary Frances Lyman on her parents' travel plans
To Horace Sumner Lyman from sister Mary Frances?
P.S After thinking over my letter, I don't know but that you might think from it that you should hurry home whether Margaret could come or not. But I think decidedly that you'd better not come til she can come with you: that is, miles, it is likely to be a long time.
If M. goes to W.S. to stay a month or two, and S. boards here, there wil[l] be no special need of you being here except to take charge of the place. But I suppose that you wil[l] come anyway sometime in the spring. The thing of it is to keep M. from S. and if that can't be managed without your coming home, it would be a plain case of duty for you to come.
I wish you could teach for me three or four weeks and let me go to take care of the land.
Good-by. Love to M.
