Poignant and touching TLS, signed in pencil, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, November 24, 1936. Keller writes Elmer V. Griggs of White Plains, New York, a month after the death of her beloved teacher, Anne Sullivan. In part: “The birds are gone. The life that throbbed through tree, bush and grass are stilled. The ground is frozen so that it hurts our feet to tread on it. Yet we thank God for the seed-time and the harvest that have vanished, for the rough, steep ways that again lead to beauty and fertility. Even so it is winter in my life since the guardian angel of fifty years no longer walks by my side on earth. Yet I thank God for the wondrous gift He has withdrawn a little while, and for the difficulties to be overcome that shall be my tribute to Anne Sullivan Macy. Our of the darkness in which she died and I still am living I thank you, O friend, for the joy of lending a helping hand to those whose eyes seek light in vain. I thank you for gifts of faith and support that have renewed their courage, transmuted their shipwrecked lives and sweetened their hearts with the sense of accomplishment…May God’s blessing rest upon you for your generosity to the American Foundation for the Blind, whose activities comfort the sightless with the rod of counsel and the staff of self-help.” Wrinkling, a strip of toning along the right side, and two small tears along the horizontal mailing folds, otherwise fine condition. Heartfelt remembrance on the influence of Sullivan in her life.
