Miss Eden's Letters

by Emily Eden

You are quite right to make your children’s childhood happy, and as merry as possible, but please do not spoil them. Life does not spoil anybody, and so teach them early to take it as it comes—cheerfully. Your aff.

E. E.

[Miss Eden died in August 1869: her friend Lady Campbell three months later.]
