My dear Mrs Meleney,
After receiving your letter, with the “precious news” (which I had guessed already some time ago )- I wanted to write at once, & also thank you for the Photos &c. But- my time & strength were surely taxed, - & instead of having a restful holiday, my time was taken-up with

My dear Mrs Meleney!
To make quite sure of it – a write to say – that I will expect you on Friday, April 6 at one PM to take luncheon with me; & then we will have a good talk with each other. And in the afternoon – after our meal & talk – we will rest a while so as to be fresh for our meeting. Will this suit you?
I was very tired after a meeting last Saturday – & suffered somewhat in consequence on Sunday. Today I had to be alert from my class from 10 AM till 5 PM and now I am just good for nothing. Thanks for your letter and what Mr. Meleney said in regards to those of my girls who aspired to positions in vacation – Kindergartens & Play-grounds. I found today that two of my girls – Miss Lyon & Miss Webster – had called already on Mr. Meleney- last week. Miss Phillips is another most worthy girl - & also Miss Henderson. I have a splendid set of girls this year again. About Charleston – I am so sorry dear friend. I will enclose one of the circulars Mr. Shepherd sent to me. It is a regulation that like lectures can only be made – – or rather “read” in person. You would not confide your children and your institute work – – – for the time being – – – – to our dear efficient Anna Harvey? She spoke to me about it. Of course I do not want to talk you into anything you might regret afterwards– - The more so as Mr. Melaney will be compelled to remain in New York. I can understand all that well enough! As also your natural anxiety about your children – in particular your dear little flower Grace. We will talk about this on Friday!
Goodbye for to day!
With affectionate love yours

The same, - as I truly enjoy it.- What a great thing it is for your two eldest boys- to “travel” by themselves. Indeed- that is “educative”. - Dear Mrs Meleney- I hear - that a Kg: Train: School will be started in the Fall by the Board of Education. Can Mr Meleney put-in a word of recommendation for Mrs Mary Jean Miller for the B. position? She is a fine & rarely gifted young woman. Or - can Mr Meleney let me know - what steps I might take - in Mrs Miller’s behalf? I am anxious to

Help her- to get the position- for which she was already so well recommended last year; - but - that has been forgotten by this time, - & she needs “re-viving”.- I believe , it is “high time” to do steps in regard to this.- Adieu- for to-day!

I received, both, your’s and Frank’s letters; and I was doubly pleased. Good Friday I went to Atlantic City, where I remanded until the Saturday after Easter. I was in great need of that little restful time. My “class-work”
[page 2]
Does not tire me,- but all the “additional” things that come from outside. Although it was very stormy- I was able to be daily out - on the Board- walk.- Of course- “mountains of work” awaited me upon my return; but - I was “ready” to meet that. Yesterday’s Alumni Meeting was fine.
[page 3]
Mrrs Dorman’s report was- to speak Kgten fashion- “symmetrically rounded out”. And Mr Ossain Lang gave us a “great” lecture- we were all deeply moved and enthused/ I had no idea, he was such a “student of Froebel”! You missed a great deal!
I am beginning to prepare for my Summer-work,- & it pleases me much
[page 4]
That this opportunity is mine. I wish, I could find the address of the Primary Teachers- that I might reach them. I suppose, the best way would through their Principals.-
- Do you happen to know Mrs [Gunniey Shaw’s] Address! In Boston? She is to be President of the Kgten Dpt at the N.E.A. in Boston.- Hoping- that the family are all well, - I am with much have for all

My dear Mrs Meleney,
And with all the burdens you have been loaded with- I bring “ another”,- hoping though- it may help to “ to lighten” a little. The young ladies who will help to “entertain”- there is- first of all- the “ Easter Song” by the class of 1903, to “ break the ice”
[page 2]
As it were. - After that- you- call upon the young ladies- as you best think fit. I here will only give the names and the “ pieces of music” they will deal with.
Our “pianists” are : Mrs. O'Brien, class 1903:-
“Alice”- by Asher and
“Valse”- by- —
Mrs Harriet darling Foster will play: “The Pilgrims Chorus” by Wegner.
[page 3]
Mrs Stevenson will sing
“The Swallows” - by Cowen
“The Maiden & the Butterfly- “-
Frances Kohler (my own girl)- will sig-
“Love Song”- by Flagier
“Mary Song”-
—-----
Then- if my invitation has been accepted- there will be Mrs Herman Behrens- a first class Pianist- not a Kgtner; and Mrs Pardy- a “fine singer” also not a kindergartener. Both- if we ask them-will
[page 4]
Surely play & sing for us. And if there should be more need for entertainment, I note the following names:-
Goldsmith- Piano
Sherman- Piano & Song
Foster- Song
McGovern- Piano
Birmingham- Piano
Tiemann- Piano
Swartwout- Piano
The girls are very talented; & it may be pleasing- to have some “music” going- on - whole “others converse”. I want to keep a “joyous”,- but also a “tempered” atmosphere. You know- what I mean.
[page 5]
I trust- all will pars- off nicely. We wanted to invite Mr Hughes daughter; I believe- finally an invitation was sent through Mr Hughes, I wish , we could have had Mrs Hughes also. I enclose cards- for “friends” you may deem interested- at this late hour. Hoping to surely see Mr Meleney- I am with much love- Your

My dear Mrs Meleney!
The hour of “weakness” was upon me - & you must forgive me for giving vent to it- when I looked into your loving eyes. I am so very alone-–& — – - where others find so much sympathy with those around them... I usually lock it up within myself; & then it happens one’s in a while – when meeting a “true Heart” that I “give-in”. Even though I have put up a little Easter- Hare nest for the Meleney family – – counting on your and Mr. meleney's native kindness and feeling of friendship for me not object to giving myself the pleasure of doing so; it gives me the delightful feeling as if I belonged a “wee bit” to you and yours! The little “fun” accompanied the same with-you will readily understand & leniently smile upon– I know. Please – do not open the box until Easter Sunday.
Even though I have written to Mr. Irwin Shepherd – secretary N.E.A. To tell of the prospect of having you at the Charleston Meeting. Please let me know at your earliest: how would you have termed the title of your address on the program? I am keeping very quiet in order to regain strength. Did you read the article on [illegible] that was in the “Sun” to day on N.Y. Kgtens–i.e. To day is Sunday & i commenced this letter yesterday the seventh. I can only write a little at a time. With love and greetings for a happy Easter-tide

My dear Mrs Meleney,
I have just returned, a few days ago, from the Summer School, NY University- where I have been living among the “ girl students” in the Gould Hall, & giving daily- during six weeks, 5days per week- two lectures! this did mean “ work”. However- I enjoyed it all very much. Meanwhile you have heard already about the Summer
[page 2]
School- thru Mrs Gertrude Conrsen- a charming young woman- when attended my lectures during one week. She was a visitor of the Misses Hall from Pittsburgh, Pd, who “captivated” my heart, & interested me highly. - I feel a “wee” but tired, and am resting here for a few days- preparatory to our “vacation - excursion” to Mars- when we intend to remain until end of September.
[page 3]
It is long- since I have heard from you,- end seems “ ages” since I have seen you! are you “ coming back” to New York or Brooklyn? or are you tempted- for “ the boys” sake to return to the northern regions? we miss you here greatly. You were needed at the JKU ! you do not realize what an important person you are,- & how far your influence “ goes out”! - Mr Meleney I have
[page 4]
Seen “all the year round’ only once, & that was Mar 4th at our Reception held in honor of the J.K.U.- There is much to be told! I almost had had in mind not to go to “Mars”,- but instead to send my straps to Cottage City; only- if I remember right- there is not Hotel. And- at the place where I stayed the last time - I could not make - up my mind to go to.- And
[page 6]
Anna Harvey? I saw her last- the night before we went to University Heights, when she was on of the important persons to “sign my testament & best well”.- I hope, she take a real good vacation, which she needs after her heavy work ,- and in preparation for “the work to come this Season. If I remember right, she spoke of going with Nellie Roethgen of Martha's Vineyard. And- may be: she
[page 7]
Carried - out her plan. Should she happen to be near you, - will you give “my dear love” to her ? Perhaps she may like to write a line to me? All letters I have addressed to Hotel San Remo; and - from time- to time I shall have the forwarded.- I can imagine, what an “ideal” life the Meleney family are living this Summer- as always. My loving greetings I send to all. - We are
[page 8]
Having [lovely[ cool days in New York; but - of course- this will not last.- Yesterday I had a short letter from Adriana Dorman - whose Mother’s Condition has not improved. Thi is very sad! As also dear Harriet Littig’s loss of her father. Harriet is very brave!- And now I will close this long apostle, hoping, it finds you all happy & well.
