What a variety of subjects we have been over together in these letters!
I can’t imagine what next you can ask me unless it be advice on the
management of a young and attractive husband, and happily I shall escape
that by flight! Don’t imagine, Penelope, dear, that I think I have
smoothed out the whole domestic situation for you, for I cannot do much
more than try to give you principles to work on, hoping that you and
your bright young women friends will discuss it rationally together in
order that you may meet the problem more wisely and broadly and in a
more human spirit than our generation has done. The world moves and we
must move along with it, but we can have no better rule to go by in
facing _any_ conditions than the one given us over nineteen hundred
years ago, “Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do
ye also unto them.”
_Au revoir_, dear; think of my actually being able to go off on a
pleasure trip! You can imagine how full of excitement I am over it, for
I couldn’t have done this a year ago, and couldn’t now if it weren’t for
my delightful relatives who are making everything so smooth and easy for
me.
_Au revoir_, love to Tom and success to that exciting dinner. I shall
hope to hear all about it when I come back.
Very affectionately yours,
_Jane Prince_.
