KELLER, Helen. Autograph letter signed to an unidentified "dear friend." Tuscumbia, AL, 23 July
Item Details
Description
KELLER, Helen Adams (1880-1968). Autograph letter signed ("Helen A. Keller") to an unidentified "dear friend." Tuscumbia, AL, 23 July 1889.

3 pages, 8vo, in pencil in Keller's square hand, light creases, a few very short tears along folds.

AN EARLY HELEN KELLER LETTER. Regarding the unidentified recipient's children, travels in Paris and health which required medical care. The young 9-year-old Keller also commented on her younger sister Mildred Campbell's sickness, the ripeness of peaches and grapes, and her recent birthday gifts of bracelets from Anne Sullivan and a “breast-pin” from Mrs. [Sophia Crocker] Hopkins, Anne Sullivan’s patron from when she attended Perkins Institution for the Blind. Keller also referenced her desire to start kindergarten and her fondness for Frances Hodgson Burnett’s “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” which Keller later noted “was the first book of any consequence I read understandingly” (The Story of My Life, p.91).
From Hadley, formerly known as Hadley School for the Blind
