With much love and kisses, from your
Affectionate cousin HELEN A. KELLER.
During the winter Miss Sullivan and her pupil were working at Helen's home in Tuscumbia, and to good purpose, for by spring Helen had learned to write idiomatic English. After May, 1889, I find almost noinaccuracies, except some evident slips of the pencil. She uses words precisely and makes easy, fluent sentences.
