We ought to have instructed Munn & Co. to make out the writings in this wise James S McLean of Macoupin and Edgar McLean of Champaign then there would have been no need of your going to the expense of coming home but as it is in order to make a good job of it it seems to necessary for you to come; please come as soon as possible or write immediately and let us know what to do. I will say nothing of other affairs until you come if come you do only we are still here and paid six months rent. There is not way to make things right with the writings that are here only for you to come. With much love I remain your affectionate Mother S F M
