My dear Mrs Meleney-
So much about Boarding places at Charleston: If you write at once to the manager of the Charleston Hotel, you will be able to get a room for yourself. & Robert at reasonable rates. The best rooms have all been taken!-
A very good Boarding house, cool large Rooms
[page 2]
May be had in a highly recommended place: Miss Eliza A. Toomer, 96. Rutledge Ave, Charleston, S.C.- This lady writes: “We have three very large airy rooms with Pizazz[seff]. There rooms are over eighteen feet square & can [have] two beds. With two persons in a room- we ask two dollars each per day- waking four dollars per day for the room.- With three or four persons in the room, the charge will be one dollar & fifty cents each per day.
[page 3]
Two of the rooms open into each other with folding doors, & the glass doors open on a large handsome Southern piazza, commanding a view of the Avenue. We are on two lines of Trolley cars and are near the Auditorium.- Don’t you think, this sounds very good?-
Mrs Bearegard Boez was recommended also very highly; her addresses : 41. East Bay Charleston. Her charges are somewhat higher,- but then she lives near the Ocean. She has “delightfully cool rooms”. - Would you be so
[page 4]
Kind as to send[illegible] - this letter or “information” to Emma Newman? She would like to know. I wonder if Emma N. [gives via] New York?- I shall go by the land-route. And I will not reside at any of the names places as I had a delightful “invitation” for the Convention - days/ I will tell you all about it on Saturday.- I did feel a little shaky during the “hot spell”. My “class-work” is pretty hard at present- as usual at this time of the Season. We commenced “Modeling” to-day.- Lovingly yours Maria Kraus Boelte
