My dear Mrs. Meleney,
Indeed it was a most delightful party that Mrs. Wadleton gave us planned and carried out so perfectly! You and Miss Grace had a share in it and we all join in thanking you too.
The "Kraus girls" will long remember the Bronxville meeting, sincerely hoping that their hstesses were not overtired for they seemed to think of everything that could give pleasure.
I hope your evening party was a great success and that Dr. Meleney will gain steadily and both you and he will have a lovely summer, Miss Grace also.
With love, affectionately

To Governor Woodruff
My dear Mr Woodruff
In an effort to raise money for this support and endowment of thiis free bed at the Hospital of the Good Shepherd. We are to have on the evenings of February 23rd and 24th an entertainment at the Alhamber called a "Carnival of Musical Romances." It is thought thtat a few words, from you, before this raising of the curtain, would add much to the interest of this occasion.
I venture therefore to ask, if you would graciously consent to give a short speech on either of those evenings?
In my quiet life, this free bed is near my heart which embolders me to make this request.
I am cordially yours,
Marcia S. Andrews

My dear Governor Woodruff.
I have taken the liberty of sending to you one of the "Year Books," issued by the Womens Auxiliary of the Hospital of the Good Shephard and would like to call your attention, to the work of the "Free bed," supported by this Auxiliary - This work is very near my heart, relieving as it does. The suffering of those unable to pay, for necessary care and treatment - It is in constant use and supported by contributions, at present. We desire however that this bill should be endowed by the payment of five thousand dollars of which sum a portion is already raised.
Some of my friends have become Life Members of the Auxiliary, by the payment of one hundred dollars anhese sums all go towards the Endowment fund -
If I may enlist your interest in this cherished plan, it will give me great pleasure.
I am cordially yours

Hon. Timothy Woodruff:-
Dr Sir:-
I have an old family record of the "Woodruff" which I would like to complete as far as possible and tho't you could be of assistance to me hence this letter. It begins with the marriage of Lemon Woodruff and Mary Fuller -

Eight children were born of this last marriag, namely - Polly C. Lemon R. William R. Enos K. Sally Maria, Andrew H. and Louisa S. and Eli Alonzo. I have proper record as far as this but nothing about their children Can you give me any information about this and what part of the family do you belong to, if any. I am the seventh child of Eli Alonzo who was born July 16,,1820 in Dutchess Co New York and died Jan 8, 1903. I have four sisters and two brothers living. Now perhaps this is a bore to you, and if so just forget it, as I know you are a busy man and really I am more interested in the present than in the past. I have not one of my husband's cards so will just enclose a letter head to tell you who we are. I ahve only given a part of this record, so if you care for more will be glad to send it. Pardon this lengthy letter -

Dear “Sister Caroline”
We missed you and Grace at our Kraus meeting on November 4th,. Your telegram arrived just as the quests arrived and was mad at the beginning of the meeting making us all realize that you were with us in spirit- [We were] thirty percent and twenty eight staged for luncheon - we were afraid it might be too cold or windy for some of the members to have the exercises indoors, the enclosed poem,by [Eloise Farr], was read at our luncheon and after luncheon we wandered about the building and our to see our tree- a healthy young [kin oak], well shaped and occupy me

One of the delightful surprises of the day was the [anomaly] of Dr Jenny Merriel. She is living with her nephew in Hollis and he bought her over. She has grown thin and led, her just as interested and alert as ever. She paid a beautiful tribute to Mrs Kraus which I wish some of our young people of modern education might have heard. She said she was starting her eighteenth year and greatly interested in the problems of the world. The same Kraus spirit prevailed and we all had a happy day

I met your Frank at the theater on Friday major and was glad to hear that you are all well. It was so will of Frank to come over and speak to us. Our Frank Club had occurred most of the second balcony and a four seats in the first balcony to see [Madrid] “School for Husbands” as that is how I happened to be there- I have grown to be such a [exuberant] that I seldom go to the city- we have had such glorious week ends all face we have enjoyed exploring Long Island in the Buick and have discovered many beautiful drives.

Dear Mrs Meleney:
Perhaps you would like this copy of the article I wrote about Mrs Kraus for the Committee of Nineteen. I am sorry I did not have it with me last summer when you were preparing your paper.
College has opened with the largest registration we have ever had, so I have had quite a problem trying to make the building accommodate us. I hope you are well and that you were able to enjoy that wonderful September weather at the dear old Vineyard.
Miss Roethgen joins me in love and good wishes to you all.
Sincerely your friend,
Anna E Harvey.

Dear Mrs. Meleney,
It was so very kind of you to think of us and send us such charming evidences of your thought at the beautiful Easter season! You must be very proud of your chorister boys; they make a most charming picture, and I thank you very much indeed for giving me the privilege of sharing in what I know must be your great pleasure in the little group portrayed. I am so glad to have Robert's picture, and hope some day to make the acquaintance of the true original Edmund and Frank. Are they all really singers, or is it a costume only for the very pretty pictorial effect? Will has much delight in his little Easter cherubs, and I send his thanks with mine.
I would have written earlier, but our old town is in a buzz and hence such as it never knew before with the work of preparation for our coming Exposition (from which we hope and expect great things), and what with committee meetings and work for the Women's Department, in addition to all our Kindergarten undertakings, I really have not a minute of time that is not due my boy. He has been a little ailing, but is now better, and but for a bad cold from which my sister is suffering just now we are all quite well, as I hope may be the case with you. I hope Mme. Kraus is in good health. Miss Holmes has gone to the I. K. A. meeting in Chicago, and we are anxious to have her back and hear her news. Our work progresses but slowly as the question of money is so direfully great. We held a "rummage sale" lately and cleared $200 which has cheered us up very much, and we are prepared to make a great effort in the coming connection of our State clubs to increase the member of pupils for next year so we live in hope.
I must thank you also for your Report received not long ago, and read with much interest. With renewed thanks and best wishes I am Very sincerely yours
