many things I threw away in America. in some of the weeklies are paper dolls etc. to cut out & if you have picture post cards that have been sent you that you do not want to keep, they give them as prizes in the school & the little girls value them because they came from America, & some time if you see small crayons for coloring pictures & have time they are very necessary & cannot be found here any small pkge. comes easily by mail but to ensure safety should be sewn up in strong cloth & please send us a paper of needles we have to do all our own sewing & I have learned how to do a great deal, but a decent needle is not to be found. you see I am begging, but most of this is Miss Kappes’ suggestion & nothing expensive but everything takes time & every body is nosy.

I wonder if you know Miss Day? she is such a lovely Bahai woman & if [page 10, left side of image 72] you ever see Mrs Morton please ask her about her niece, the one I liked so much.

I have found the address - 316 Park St. Westfield, N.J. & if any of you write to her or Mrs John Caldwell to that address they will be there in Nov. & you may be able to see them in N.Y. & hear all about us, for we have been very intimate friends with them, their daughter Dorothy went there in the Spring & the two little boys went with the father & mother to remain there in school.

If you send this letter to Mr Wilhelm & ask for the one I wrote him you will have more to read & so will he. I am always sorry for busy people who receive long letters but there is still a great deal more I can write. Miss K. has just been asleep & when I told her I was writing to you she said if any one wants to do a really great [page 11, right side of image 72] thing for the school they can send maps to hang on the walls. they are not expensive & can be mounted on wood here. those of the U.S. are not so important as of the other continents. Miss K. has sent to America for books to teach all with her won money & we hope they will arrive soon. They come by book post. The Persian geog. has only about Persia, a very small book. I think no map. The names of the capitals of countries in Europe but not a sign of a picture or map. great things are to be done in the school this coming year. Many of the girls know enough English to be taught all sorts of subjects in English. I go once a week & teach anatomy & physiology & Miss Stewart once a week to teach all sorts of things regarding [page 12, left side of image 71] First-Aid to the injured & nursing, & it is the only school in all this country where these things are taught in this way. There are now 200 girls, the number varies because of change of location of the people who go to other cities to live.

Now I must really not write any more but one thing more – does anyone see Mrs Von Lilienthal & how is she? give her my love if you see her.

Love always in El Baha & tell Mrs Bedee this letter is hers too.
