My dear little Miss

我親愛的小姐

Your very agreeable letter of the 15th is received

你15日寫來的飽含好意的信我已經(jīng)收到了

I regret the necessity of saying I have no daughters

首先，我不得不十分抱歉地說，我沒有女兒

I have three sons -- one seventeen, one nine, and one seven years of age

我有三個兒子，一個17歲，一個9歲，還有一個7歲了

They, with their mother, constitute my whole family

我的家庭就是由他們，他們的母親和我組成的

As to the whiskers, having never worn any

至于絡(luò)腮胡嘛，我從未留過

Do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?

你難道不認為一旦我現(xiàn)在留起它，人們會說這是種愚蠢的做作嗎？

Your very sincere well wisher

真誠的祝福你
