Keller, Helen. Typed letter signed ("Helen Keller"), in pencil on watermarked, personal stationery, 1p, 11 x 8½ in., New York, 31 March 1952. Very fine. Addressed to "Mr. Luhrs", appealing for funds for the "American Foundation for the Blind." In part: "…Try to imagine, if you can, the anguish and horror you would experience bowed down by the twofold weight of blindness and deafness… … The blind who are taught can live happily in a world of sounds, and the deaf use their eyes instead of ears, but the deaf-blind have no substitute for sight and hearing. The keenest touch cannot break their immobility. More than any other physically fettered group, they need right teaching and constructive procedures to reclaim them to normal society…" With the original transmittal envelope, a brochure for Keller's foundation, and a self-addressed stamped envelope, addressed to the "American Foundation For Overseas Blind Inc."
Estimated Value $450 - 600.
