My dear Mrs Meleney,
I feel , as if I had not been “polite” when looking-in upon your meeting, and not being of the same opinion in regard to that book: “the students of Froebel” - I took the book with me, that evening to the dinner table; and, dear friend, I find- that it is all right for our library. The only thing I felt, was: it contains

“Pieces” from the [Edne]: of man”, - & thought- it was better that the young Kgtners, who would probably come to read & study first “the whole”, - which is, according to Kgten principles, current. Please, do not mine me, & buy the book.-
I have forwarded my program to mr. Shepherd if I had time, I would [buy] it for you!-
[page 3]
You will deliver your paper on Wedn: 11th in the afternoon, right after I had my “say”. Emma Newman will be on the platform July 12th.-- I hope to hear yet from Mr. Hughes that he will come!- I have written to two boarding houses at Charleston,- on the Battery; they were highly recommended. And as soon as an answer comes, I will let you know.- I am very busy- the work accommodates so! How good it
[page 4]
It is to hear of your influence, as you do among the mothers & Kgtners.- I hope, you will give the Kgtners at Charleston some strong “points”,- They need it!-
I am so glad to know your “home”,- for I can visit you in “mind” - & be with you & yours.- Love to all
Affectionately Yours
Maria Kraus Boelte
