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).
