If you & the children are well enough & you can arrange so as to get through your visiting I would be very glad to have you return the last of May & in time to spend the aniversary of our wedding with me. If Lydia does not return with you Mr. Walker said he would take charge of you & the children. Mrs. Walker is in N.Y City & will return sometime from the middle to the last of May & Mr. Walker or her brother will return with her. I want to know at once whether Lydia will return so that if she does not I can arrange some other way.

Perhaps I shall see the way clear to visit Lawrence yet as I know you &
