Description

Helen Keller

TLS, two pages, 5.5 x 9.25, The Lincoln letterhead, December 14, 1921. Letter to Miss Hortop, in part: “I wish I could find a lovely new way to thank you for the flowers which came this morning. They kept wonderfully fresh, as if they knew of your wish that they should bring me delight. I wore the lilies and violets, and talked about them to an appreciative audience. I love to think of our friendship, woven as it were in roses, violets and lilies. We were disappointed not to see you at the station, and tell you how deeply we feel all your kindnesses. I wanted to give you a picture which the manager of the ‘Orpheum’ had enlarged and tinted for the theatre during our engagement. My teacher and Polly were pleased with it, and thought you might like to have it. I am sending it to you now with Christmas love, and with wishes for a New Year as beautiful as your kind thoughts.” In very good to fine condition, with light foxing on the second page. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
