Description

Helen Keller

TLS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.75 x 9.5, December 3, 1922. Letter to Betsy, in part: "I want to tell you something lovely which puts fresh joy into each day for me. My teacher had a walk fixed this fall, so that I could go out alone without being exposed to intrusive, curious eyes. Two new houses were being built close to us, and there was no privacy. So we had a trellis put up, seven feet high, and an arbor vitae hedge planted on the street side. I walk there every morning, and I love my green circle, as I know you love your cabin close to the mountains. In the spring the enclosure will be sweet with the odors of honeysuckle, clematis and arbor vitae combined, and I shall think of you then, because it is ever your wish to surround me with fragrance and the sunshine of beautiful thoughts." In fine condition, with some light toning and soiling. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
