Dear Mr. C,
I must thank you for your kind words. Being brave is an admirable trait indeed, and I am honored to be deemed as such. To answer such an ad is also a quality of bravery. Finding happiness and a good match is always something to strive towards, in my opinion. As the oldest of my family, it is my responsibility to lead by example. Finding my own match is a crucial part of that, as I am sure you are aware.

Having a profession that one can be proud of is certainly a goal to strive for. To have such respect must have taken a good deal of hard work and talent. To have a husband with such qualities would be a privilege. I can't imagine why anyone would fail to take such a position seriously.

Family has always been one of the most important aspects of my life. While I do enjoy parties to a certain degree, time with family will always mean more to me. A quiet evening will also give me time to work on my art. Perhaps you would like to see some of my work? My preferences of subject are flowers and landscape at the moment, though I do have several paintings of my family members.

Please do feel free to send me a response if you so choose. I do wish yo the best.
