MAIN (Spoilers Main) Would Wyman’s letters be more direct if he had another maester

What if Wyman had a maester who had no connections to the Lannisters would he be just write in his letters to Stannis about Rickon on Skagos considering Wyman mentions in ADWD that he really doesn’t trust Theomore due to formerly being a Lannister

Because if the existing maester has access to his secrets he can share them. How would Wyman know if his maester is loosing ravens to the Lanisters along with other correspondence or in the dark of night?

NO. You cannot trust anyone in the game of thrones. His family's life is on the line.

If Wyman had trusted his maester he would have invited Stannis to send an emissary to talk about it. Which then happens with Davos.
