My dearest Mrs Meleney,
Truly- my heartaches - to know you ailing this long! This “Easter-time” is so full of thoughts of “resurrection”; and thus it may prove to you - that you may rise above all the ailings in renewed health and strength. This Winter has been so full of ailings to alomost every day. May this beautiful easter - tide be the beginning
[page 2]
A “new life” for you!- The change of weather has been almost too sudden- for us poor mortals. I would feel satisfied were it to remain thus; for warmth always agree with me.- From our windows - we can see the “new” green grass. Soon- the trees will show also signs of new life. I am thankful , that the Winter has not harmed me. I could do all of my work with greater ease
[page 3]
Ability & pleasure- than ever before. My class is a small-one, - but a lovely one. I believe, I told you this already in another letter. Tuesday, March 29, we reassure our work with the class. - It is so often - I think of you & your family. What a blessed Mother you are ! - I had a letter from Ada Mareen Hughes. She is so able and true! We are busy for “action” in the Committee of Nineteen, J.K.U.; but - it is all yet much tangled, & it may take years- until the path is clear- which- to my idea- can only be brought about
[page 4]
By a “return to Froebel”.- And- about our Round Table Dinner” at the San Remo- I will tell you later on. It is interesting- to see the different Representatives, as there are: orthodox, radicals , & the various graduation- take dinner so amicably together,- showing such a “friendly spirit”. I rejoice in this,- & see in it “a great promise for the future”. - My letter has grown long, - while I wanted to send you only renewed Easter- greetings and loving good wishes.- The “Meleney family” is always connected with Froebel;’s ideal of a family. Love to all ! and God bless you all! Affectionately
Maria Kraus - Boelte
