Book account

And yet I do not complain of Archie for not
trying to do something. Once, however, before we were married I
tried to rouse him to something like energy, and caring for himself,
but since seeing the world, his world I mean, for you know of course
I am not what would be considered his equal socially, I have changed
my mind, and do not blame him at all. Brought up as he was with an
idea that he must not work, it is very hard for him to overcome
early prejudices of training and education, and I think his uncle,
the Hon. John, would be intensely mortified to have his nephew in
trade, though he is very careful not to give him any thing toward
his support, and we are so poor that even a hundred pounds would be
a fortune to us. Maybe some good angel will send it to us by and by.
"Hoping it most devoutly, I have the honor to be,
"Very sincerely, your niece,
"DAISY ALLEN McPHERSON.
"P.S.--Bessie thanks you again for the turquois ring you sent her.
