all the rest will be glad to see me. Mr. Walker's home is now in N.Y. City. His wife is with him. The rest of the family are here & will probably remain till about the first of Sept. He will be here occasionally. I think there could be a school obtained here for Lydia next fall if she wishes it. I will ascertain. Perhaps she would like to spend the summer with us on the farm & then teach here. I do not know that a school could be obtained for her. I can get passed to Philadelphia & it would cost me $3 from there to New York City & about $6 from there to Lawrence for less than $25 & this would help paint hour house which needs it very much. I want you shoud be sure & get a little girl at the Home in Boston if you can find one that will suit you. If Lydia returns with you I think you had better write to Mrs. N.P. Lee of Albany & arrange to visit a day or so with her she will be glad to see you & if it will rest you. Lydia would also be glad I presume to call on Rev. Mr. Hartzell of Buffalo who married Mr. Weaver's sister & they would be glad to see her & you as they are old friends of mine, & it would make your journey easier to stop there a day or two. When I know what your wishes are about the time of returning & whether Lydia will return with you then I will decide as I think will best
