A lovely one-page letter on a sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" paper addressed to a friend named Villa and SIGNED in pencil by Keller. In full: "Teacher [Anne Sullivan] is right in the midst of pies, and she wants me to thank you for her for your gift. Dear me, at the rate that she keeps making pies, I don't believe she will find time to set up as a druggist. I have forwarded the dainty handkerchief you sent for mother. I am sure it will please her. At Christmas-time we took Teacher off to the Green Mountains, so that she could get a respite from household cares. We spent some of our extra energy coasting and walking in snow up to our knees and sleighing and marvelling at the beauty of the hills. The change refreshed us all greatly. They told me that I came back every day with 'nice chipmunk cheeks.' If you at any time want a good rest and a comfortable place to be lazy in, just run up to WoodstockInn [sic]. While we were there, they had a pretty Christmas-tree for the guests. It was lighted up with tiny electric lamps. Each guest got a gift selected expressly to make him or her laugh. With love from us all and wishes for a happy New Year, I am, Your friend, Helen Keller." Anne Sullivan ("Teacher" and subject of the play and movie THE MIRACLE WORKER) and Helen bought a farm and seven acres of land in Wrentham, Massachusetts, in 1904 and lived there until 1917, some of the happiest years of Keller's life. That joy comes through in this letter. Creases from mailing; light soiling. Very Good.
