Letter from Annie Sullivan to Michael Anagnos, September 18, 1887 (pp. 2 & 3 of 3)
Description:
... to occupy my spare moments and if my royal turn of mind is to be gratified by wearing the crown, all will be well. I have been at work on the paper; but have not accomplished much. I wish you had asked me for the facts and put them together yourself. For unfortunately I have not the "Pen of a ready writer." However I will do my best, and if you are not pleased, you will not hurt my feelings by consigning the whole thing to the wastebasket. Many thanks for the writing-boards and alphabets. When I told Helen that Man sent them to her, she said, "Man is good. Helen does love man." Trusting the school year about to begin will be a prosperous and happy one for all, I am with great respect, Very truly yours, Annie M. Sullivan To Mr. M. Anagnos Perkins Institution for the Blind South Boston, Mass.
