38 Seventieth Anniversary
of the seventieth anniversary of the school, and inviting me
to be present and make an address to your guests. I feel that
it is unnecessary for me to tell you how strongly this invita-tion
appeals to me. My deep sympathy for the magnificent
work under your direction makes me wish, if I could by at-tending
assist in any way, that I could write you favorably.
I am confronted with so many matters of importance that
must be disposed of in the next few months, before Congress
convenes, that it is practically hopeless for me to promise to
attend, and I must ask that you do not count on me. I regret
very much that I cannot be there, and hope that some other
time I may have the pleasure which I am obliged to forego.
Wishing you continued success, and with expressions of
esteem, believe me,
Sincerely yours, Josephus Daniels.
HELEN KELLER.
Wrentham, Mass., September 26, 1915.
John E. Ray, Superintendent,
Raleigh, N. C.
I thank you and the Directors of the State of North Caro-lina
School for the Blind and the Deaf for your cordial invi-tation.
I regret that it will not be possible for me to accept.
I should much like to be with you all on the seventieth anni-versary
of the founding of a school where such earnest efforts
are made to uplift my afflicted fellows. But Mrs. Macy and
I expect to be in California at that time.
May the school continue to be a house of light from which
many shall receive succor and strength. May your work
spread until every child, blind or deaf, in the State has a
chance to be taught, and every man or woman who dwells in
silence and shadow is helped. And, best of all, may both the
sightless and the seeing be so educated that they shall seek
