<mods:abstract>... Neither delicacies nor dress (inducements which seldom fail) tempted her from the perusal of the list of words. I cut up several sheets, and sewed the words on pasteboard so that she could form sentences on the frame. I think the frame useful in teaching the child to construct sentences, but I think she should know how to spell first. It is asking too much of a child, to learn to spell and form sentences at the same time. At least that has been my experience with Helen. I will enclose a letter she has just written to her cousin George, and I think you will be able to form a better idea of her command of language by reading it, than you could from anything I could write. It is the third letter she has written. We spent a week at her Cousin George's and while there she wrote her mother a beautiful letter. I would like so much to send it; but Mrs. Keller will not part with it. On her return home, as soon as I gave her pencil and paper, she perposed [sic] writing to Cousin George...</mods:abstract>
