My dearest Mrs Meleney,
Your loving good letter touched my heart. Thank you for the same. I looked for you on Saturday, & was quite a little disappointed not to see you; but I understand- how very busy you are in many ways. At least- I shall hope to see you & your family- on that eventful December the second !- It is so lovely in the dear former pupils, that they

Want to celebrate my 50 years of uninterrupted work! God surely blessed me - that I could work thus for our great Course, interrupting the sound ideas of educating the young ! I cannot realize - that half a Century has passed- since I began. It all seems- as if it were “only lately” when I commenced. All is so vivid & lively in my mind!- What a blessing it is- that you, dear friend, are strong & well again - & can take such active work to benefit the people!

I thank our Father in Heaven, that such as you have been my students.- My “message” last Saturday, was “on the Temperaments of children”, and of the duty & necessity of Mothers and Kgteners (all Educators) to take an insight of these. It was a lovely night- & filled my heart with love & happiness, to see so many of “my girls”, - & among them so many of “former classes”.- I thank you for all your “good wishes”, dear Carrie Cait! Once in a while- I must call you thurs!- I love you !-

Your family- is - in my mind always a “model family”. I thank you, for telling me about your children. - This year- I have but a small Training class. I desired it so; for - much o my time & strength will be needed- because of the golden Anniversary- & preparations for the same. My daughter Emma shows “splendid growth”. The purity of Mind- found in her- is delightful.- I pray- you will all “love her”- for the worth of her own self! - WIth love to you & yours
Affectionately
Maria Kraus Boelte
