lady; because she'd never stand for her ambrotipe; and
therefore I can't giv her likeness to the world through the
meejum of the illusterated papers; but as she wasn't a
brigadier…gin'ral; particlerly; I don't s'pose they'd publish
it; any how。
It's best to give a woman considerable lee…way。 But not too
much。 A naber of mine; Mr。 Roofus Minkins; was once very sick
with the fever; but his wife moved his bed into the door…yard
while she was cleanin' house。 I toald Roofus this wasn't the
thing; 'specially as it was rainin' vi'lently; but he said he
wanted to giv his wife 〃a little lee…way。〃 That was 2 mutch。
I told Mrs。 Minkins that her Roofus would die if he staid out
there into the rain much longer; when she said; 〃It shan't be
my fault if he dies unprepared;〃 at the same time tossin' him
his mother's Bible。 It was orful! I stood by; however; and
nussed him as well's I could; but I was a putty wet…nuss; I
tell you。
There's varis ways of managin' a wife; friend Wales; but the
best and only safe way is to let her do jist about as she
wants to。 I 'dopted that there plan sum time ago; and it
works like a charm。
Remember me kindly to Mrs。 Wales; and good luck to you both!
And as years roll by; and accidents begin to happen to you
among which I hope there'll be Twinsyou will agree with me
that family joys air the only ones a man can bet on with any
certinty of winnin'。
It may interest you to know that I'm prosperin' in a pecoonery
pint of view。 I make 'bout as much in the course of a year as
a cab'net offisser does; & I understand my business a good
deal better than some of them do。
Respecks to St。 George & the Dragon。
Ever be 'appy。
A。 Ward。
