Unbound. Octavo. One page typed letter Signed ("Helen Keller") in pencil to Mrs. Steers, dated 31 December 1930 on Keller's 93 Seminole Ave., Forest Hills stationery. Folded as mailed, a trifle worn, very near fine. Approximately 150 words, essentially a fund-raising letter: "Out of the night of my individual blindness has come a call – the urge of others' need. It is as persistent as the love-note which the motherbird hears when her nestlings are in trouble; and I know it will never cease until the wall of darkness has been broken down..." Also accompanied by a pamphlet about the American Foundation for the Blind. The pamphlet is one leaf folded to make four pages, photographic image of Keller on the front page, with a sentiment and her signature in facsimile.
