Father Allows the Arrival of Lydia

My dear aunt Mrs. Gardiner has been in contact with both my father and Wickham concerning the whole deal with Lydia. Mrs. Gardiner said that Wickham has agreed to marry Lydia only on the terms of receiving money in return. Of course father accepted this deal because he would rather that then ruin the reputation of his house hold. It was a great struggle to convince dad of letting Lydia come home for a visit due to the fact that he did not want to see her. Eventually he gave in and we are expecting a visit from her soon.
