My dear Mrs. Meleny,
Today I saw Mrs Blow. She has accepted for Easter, Monday, the 11th,-& at 3PM. She will deliver her lecture. Now-when shall we have [Miss Wheelock?] And should we [not] now have a meeting of the ex. Com ! so as to pre-arrange all and everything?
[Page 2]
I think, it is just too lovely, that we are a Association and can extend courteseys-& show our appreciation to others. I hope to meet Mrs [Wheelock] also privately, by myself. She said she would write & let me know. I hope you children are well again, you dear Mother.-

My dearest Mrs Meleney,
I fear- you are still suffering- because we have not seen you at any of our Meetings- nor heard from you! It grieves me, that this should be so. Spring is coming,- and the fair weather may chase away all pain. This Winter seems to have been extra full with bad cold & other ailments; but I cannot

Be sufficiently grateful that I have been well. My life is a very bust one (& worksome- one)- - but I love the work, which, tother with quiet & simple living, keeps me well. - My “class” is a joy to me; the students consist of able intelligent & talented young girls. They are full of the “true spirit”. My class is but a small- one this year; but a desirable - one. And my daughter Emma

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

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

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

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

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

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 -

My dear Mrs Meleney,
I owe you a letter- you are always so thoughtful & kind. My hands & head have been “full”- and I would not follow my inclination. It pleases me so much that you are pleased with my simple work for “little hands” I have always had the idea in my mind, “that we could not do enough to simplify things for our dear very young children.
[page 2]
At that April meeting it pleased me so much that you called special attention to my remarks- emphasizing the Educational value of doing the work rightly. Anna Harvey kindly sent me one of your this year's “Vineyard” Circulars. I hope, You will not tire yourself out. There is no objections to show “the work” at the Vineyard, my dear friend. I gave it for the purpose of being made useful for the little-ones.- i do not know, whether ]Steiger] would send “Samples” of materials- or not. Why not write & ask him, addressing Mr E Steiger, Jr.

I am glad, that you like your new home - and I hope- you will all be happy & well there, My thoughts are often with you & yours; it seems, as if you all belonged partly to me,- or I to you,- I read an account of the “[humors]” shown you at Newark. Is it not lovely to find, how “good work” is always being recognized?- I hope to see you on June 10th, when I shall give a “Reception” to my many daughters, in the Afternoon. The “cards 4 invitation “will soon be out.-

My dear Mrs. Meleney,
You know, we want to have you on one of the Ex: Com: of our Association. Please let me hear from you, if you will favor us? - Say "yes".- Also your name was missing from among the "slips" to give subject for discussion or instruction. Please, do so now,- one or more subjects. It will help!- I think, you are just as pleased as I am, that Jennie Merrill has
[page 2]
the position for Supervisor of N.Y. Kgtens. It will be a grand work she is doing! And that Mr. Meleney is also "in" for it,- all helps! Though it may not be direct work.-
I am very sorry, that you have moved to Brooklyn. All out of "selfishness" I say so for now I cannot go and see you! I know, I should not get "beyond the Bridge". Brooklyn seems such a strange place to find yourself in.
With kind regards for your husband, and love for the children, Affectionately Yours Maria Kraus- Boelte

My dear Mrs. Meleney,
I meant to have written before; but have used my strength-only so lately returned to me-to a too large degree, I had to pay for it. And even now I feel miserable with a wretched sore throat. I see no-one, and do all I can to be well again by July 1st. Even now the Official Program has been sent to me-and I am delighted to find your name. To my suprise, no other ladies are going to speak,
[page 2]
and I understand Dr. Merrill, that so many were on the list for our [Dpt].-I am greatly thrilled about the stairs I shall have to mount-as that is the difficulty with me yet- after my illness. If there are more than one flight, I am afraid, it will undo me for anything else.- Please, let me know, how long you are going to remain in the City; and if there will be a chance, after July 3rd, when the meetings end, of having the pleasure to see yourself Mr. Meleney for dinner? You are such an ideal Kindergarten-Mother, that, to place you on the (Plat-
[page 3]
Platform alone, without speaking even a word, would win the hearts of the audience. This is no flattery. I feel so truly!- And next year-so God will- I want so much to you in your family-circle. You will let me come, I know.
I must not write any more. The Doctor wants absolute rest.-With love for you and your "dear ones”, believe me always. Your affectionate old friend Maria Kraus Boelte.

My dear Mrs. Meleney,
I cannot express my happiness at having had you here with me the other day. I have always loved you dearly; but you, as a mother, seem to be dearer to me than ever. - I wanted to write you a "good" letter; and here I am- it is
[page 2]
just midnight-and want to ask a favor- from you and your husband, Anna Harvey- you have seen this earnest, energetic, cultured and fine woman and gifted Kindergartener- urged by Dr. Jenny B Merrill & myself-and with the consent of Dr. Livermore-will make application
[page 3]
for the Office of Superior of Kgtens of Brooklyn. Dr Merrill will write on her behalf to [Suph. Maywell]; and so will I, and also Dr. Livemore. Would you write to your husband [Sph] Maywell and say a good word on behalf of Anna Harvey? They could have no better one! Your husband is known and respected in Brooklyn (is also in New York), and a good word from him would go far.
[page 4]
Would it not be grand, to have one of “ours”,- & such a one-in the B'klyn position? She has ex-perience as a teacher in [Public] Schools, as a Kgtner- the 7th year and conducts also the Training Class of Adelphi Academy. Trusting, Mr Meleney will do this-for the sake of the little children in th Brooklyn [Kgtens, I remain, with regards for Mr. Meleney and love for yourself, Maria Kraus-Boelte.

My dear Mrs Meleney,
You have been on my mind ever since that evening of the Torch- light Procession. it was much of a “ joy” to see you- so well- so happy. I hope, you all got “ safely home” that night. Mr meleney was almost “ left behind”; & I felt a little “ terrified” when
[page 2]
I saw him jump on the car- as the latter moved away so swiftly!- But- he is such a “ well-balanced” that not easily trouble of such kind would come to him. - And then I thought of the dear baby Leeber George”, & if your anxious loving “ mother- art” found him all you could wish for- on reaching home. And
[page 3]
Thus “my thoughts” were wandering “on- and- on- to the little daughter of yours’ - & to the boys- “who did not want to see the Prince”. I was glad to have a “peep” at the other two boys. How well they looked, - & how “manly” Robert is beginning to look. You- ye- “the time flies - on” ! - And now there is our dear Anna Harvey- her heart grieved by
[page 4]
The death of her brother– in law- who was “ like a father” to her. Poor Mrs. Paulson! how my heart goes- out to her- losing the “ Love's partner of her life”.- It was God’s will.- My heart also was written with grief; 4- two of my loves daughters were “ called home” to our father in Heaven.- And then our dear Edith Slade has been very ill- with typhoid fever; to-day I had a letter from her aunt, saying
[page 5]
- “that Edith is out of danger,- but very weak”.- Thank God! she will live! she is such a “ precious” girl.- Last Saturday we had one of the largest meeting- on record. I was not in exactly the “{ state of mind” I would have wished to be. I was “ quite a bit ill” the Tuesday & Wednesday previous. However,- my “ Sound Nature”, my “ w will power” and my “ happy heart” got the better of me!- It was aslo

My dear Mrs. Meleney,
I cannot allow the day to end without writing to you, and to say :"that your lecture was a crown and a jewel. It ought to have been given earlier in the morning, so that all might have heard it, and felt with the influence of your words and spirit on their minds and hearts. And I am so delighted, that it will be printed,
[page 2]
- and though the charm of your sweet personality - embodied Motherhood- will be working on the printed words-yet- your spirit will have over it. Blessed, indeed, are you, your children and your husband.-I suffered a good deal last night with my throat,- & though able - by applications of a specialist-to read my Paper-the trouble has returned to night in a slightly severer stage. I [intend] going to-morrow to the Kgten D'pt, and this afternoon to the "specialist" Doctor, -and about the [middle]

middle of the next week I may be able to leave the City for a while.
Wishing you and yours a happy and pleasant Summer, I am, my dear Mrs Meleney, your admirer and old friend.
