Hamburg, November 30, 1850Highly Regarded Mr Froebel! I am heartened by your friendly reply to my correspondence of August 18th. I recognize in your words just how much you take part in the progress of our common work and also in the individual well-being of your (female) students. I allow myself for this reason to tell you with joy that the temporary directorship of the Second Citizens' Kindergarten was granted to me definitively on November 1st. I hope for much success with this endeavor due to the understanding of the teachings you gave us and also due to our eternal love of " The Cause." I confess, worthy Mr. Froebel, that I have an active desire in my being that you honor us with a visit to our Kindergarten. I also say with pride that I am awaiting your comments about the condition and progress of our Garden, in which there are presently 50 children. With the innermost wish for your well-being I remain with great respect, DOROTHEA HUEBNER, nee STERN read the German text in "Mein Lieber Herr Froebel!, Briefe an der Kinder und Menschenfreund" Berlin (DDR): Verlag Volk und Wissen, 1990Copyright © 1997 - 2008 by The Froebel Gallery.
