TLS signed in pencil, one page, 7.25 x 11, personal letterhead, November 23, 1929. Letter to Edwin Gould, son of notorious financier Jay Gould. In part: “As I write this letter of appreciation in behalf of the blind children of America, my own childhood grows vivid in my memory. I live again in the hopeless, groping, silent years before I was taught, and the wonderful day on which my teacher came to liberate my fettered spirit. Full of this blessed experience, my heart glows with gratitude to you for the aid you are giving to the many, many children of our country who will never see the light again…Remember, when we help a child, we help humanity with an immediateness that no other help gives.” In fine condition, with pencil notations at the top. Edwin Gould differed from his father in that he generously contributed to many charities, including his own Edwin Gould Foundation for Children. Desirable content regarding Keller’s own experience with blindness. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
