Mr. Anagnos
Perkins Institution of the Blind
Boston

Dear Mr. Anagnos,
               I must inform you that I need a teacher from your institute to help bring my blind daughter to see the light and to hear my voice. I will need an experienced teacher, one who can stand short tempers, bad manners, and tantrums, as my daughter does not know the meaning of discipline. She is both blind and deaf, so she may be a bit difficult to handle. At twelve years old, she might be a bit stubborn and difficult to handle. But I assure you, We will make the chosen teacher feel at home here in the south. To me, her blindness and deafness are her weakness, as she will not ever hear or see things around her. Your salary will be $25 per month, and thereby I expect to see results.

                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                Captain Keller
