Letter of a father, Addressed to His Daughter! by kris1920 2014/06/09 17:50
Daughter!
Get you an honest Man for a Husband, and keep
him honest. No matter whether he is rich, provided
he be independent. Regard the Honour and moral
Character of the Man more than all other
Circumstances. Think of no other Greatness but
that of the soul, no other Riches but those of the
Heart. An honest, Sensible humane Man, above all
the Littleness's of Vanity, and Extravagances of
Imagination, labouring to do good rather than be
rich, to be usefull rather than make a show, living
in a modest Simplicity clearly within his Means and
free from Debts or Obligations, is really the most
respectable Man in Society, makes himself and all
about him the most happy.
