this letter. I can imagine you
and Charlie settled in your home
with the honeymoon over, and
the receiving of inquisitive ones
beginning. Happy you will
both be; happy you must be,
always and everywhere; but
remember the secret of happiness
lies in unselfish love, mutual
trust, and frankness. If you
both are free thinking human
beings there will be, occasionally,
differences of opinion, and thank
God we do not always think
alike or this would be a dull
old world. But, if there be a
difference of opinion, for Goodness
sake, don't resort to Prussian methods,
but learn the value of a conference
and the value of the "Give in
sweetly" spirit. Suppose there
be a "Fall out"; then as Tennyson
