Soledad y Delfina Huerta Mexico, D. F., Diciembre de 1948.Del alba a los primeros resplandores postrárouse de hinojos los pastores; entreabrióse la gasa de las nubes y la tierra pisaron mil querubes que, con voz de melódicas dulzuras, cantaban "!Gloria a Dios en las alturas y en la tierra, paz!" Oh Humanidad inquieta y agresiva que maquinas la bélica ofensiva: Derrite en tus crisoles la metralla; y, cayendo, humildísima, de hinojos, que contemplen estáticos tus ojos las huestes de seráficas criaturas que aún cantan: "!Gloria a Dios en las alturas y en la tierra, paz!"

March 31 - 1929 My dear Miss Blackwell - Just before last Christmas I sent for a couple of Calanders - one of which I wanted to send to you. They didn't come for Christmas and they never did come - I have been house-bound for several weeks now with a mild attack of grippeTrusting that all is well with you, I am Most Cordially Ida C. Hultin and while we are not twenty miles from a lemon, we seem to be from any thing that has to do with Easter I would like to send you something from the garden out there isn't a "Blooming" thing in it now. Please accept this note for an Easter Greeting and believe me - I do appreciate the dainty messages you have sent to me. This one from Mexico is a gem. Ida C. Hultin My Dear Miss Blackwell: Your Easter card to my mother, Mrs. Lydia A Mason, came this morning. MY mother died fourteen years ago and your cards have been coming ever since. I know mother would be very pleased that you still remember her. I was very glad that your address was on this envelope so I could tell you of her death. I think your address was on an envelope last Xmas but in the confusion of so many other cardsthat it was lost before I had a chance to write you. Thanking you for your kind remembrance of mother.

Dear Miss Blackwell: This Library receives many requests for English translations of Hungarian poetry. As our collections contain everything published in English on Hungary and Hungarians. This also includes Hungarian poems that have been translated. However, a translator from South America, Mr. Laslo Pablo who recently came to America, told us that a poem by Andrew Ady "Song of the Street" was translated by you about thirty years ago. Mr. Pablo says he read this translation in a newspaper, but he does not know whether it has ever appeared in book form. Thanking you in anticipation for your kind reply, I am, Very sincerely yours, Dr. Laszlo Telkes Director Hungarian Reference Library LT:EP[*H*] North Scituate, Mass April 11, 1938 My dear Alice Stone Blackwell "My mind to me a kingdom is" and as its ruler I can send messages broadcast throughout the world that shall carry words of wisdom and help, of peace and hope to all mankind. That is the thought that came to me when I heard the pitiful news of your blindness. It seems cruel that we have to pay such a cruel price for our neglect of ourwell being. It seem to place a premium on selfishness. I am now 89 years old and though not really ill I am feeble and my poor old brain (?) works badly. I am sure your many friends will wish you a pleasant Easter in which I join. Sincerely yours Florence T. Hunt.Florence T Hunt No Scituate, Mass, Dec 11, 1937 Dear Miss Blackwell. I am so sorry to hear of your affliction and hope it will be temporary and soon will be cured by the skill of your physician. There is one palliating feature. You can see so much with the "mind's eye" that you are not like some blind persons who have nothing beautiful within. Affectionately yours, Florence T. HuntFlorence T. Hunt Alice C. Hunter 2707 Grand Avenue, Apt. 1 Des Moines 12, Iowa 12-12-'46 Dear Alice Blackwell: Your fine Holiday Greeting just arrived and because I have been unable to express my thoughts and feelings so well as you have done for me, I want you to know that I am going to have them printed for my greeting to clients and friends, giving you credit, of course, for2 the lovely verse. May I add that in May of this year, my brilliant and precious only daughter passed away with cancer at only thirty five years of age and left three little girls ages six, five and two. My heart has been filled with sadness and the last family prop taken from me but the necessity to earn my living has prevented me from 3 too much self pity. You can see why it has been difficult to find time or inspiration for creative writing or even thinking. Thank you for your inspiration. I hope you don't object to my use of the verse. Sincerely Alice Conger Hunter May you have a comfort able & pleasant Christmas. A.C.H.[*May Hunger*] 124, LLOYD ROAD MONTCLAIR, N.J. My dear Miss Blackwell How very kind of you it was to send me such a nice little message for Christmas. I do greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness - I am sending you this little speech by Darwin P.

Your Easter Greeting has just given me your correct address. I had lost it some way in moving from my older house. The Christmas card I mailed to Monadnoc st. was returned So you see I have not known how to reach you. I hope you are well and will continue to be well. Sincerely Annali Hurd60 Powder House Blvd. West Somerville Mass My Dear Miss Blackwell My little family certainly enjoyed the Sea Shell this summer, and want to thank you once more for the use of it. We all enjoyed a wonderful rest and feel quite fit for work this fall. It has been very warm in Boston this past week, and I have thought of Chilmark often. Best regards to you and Mrs. Wood and Miss Barry Blackwell. Sincerely (Miss) Edith HuseMrs. E.

CHARLES TODD WOLFE, General Secretary July 21, 1934 Dear Miss Blackwell: I have no excuse whatever in not answering your letter before this. The only excuse I possible have is that I am at work in the Y.W.C.A. every day. I have told the secretaries in here about your grand large house at Chilmark, and have tried to rent it for you. Most of the staff are at our camp this summer at Vineyard Haven, and others I have told about your house have thought it too large, or too much money. I am still trying, but I imagine by this time that you have already rented it. I wish it were so that I could have a few weeks at the Sea Shell this summer, but am afraid I'll have to stay up here. We did enjoy our vacation there, and you were so thoughtful to offer it again this summer. The children would love to be there. Edna told me that Jock died. I am so sorry. We got quite attached to him while we were at Chilmark. I hope you are well this summer, and keeping cool. It certainly is impossible to keep cool in Boston this summer. Thank you once more for offering the Sea Shell to my little family. Sincerely, Edith E.
