November 21, 1929

My dear Miss Keller

I am very grateful to you for sending me your new book and particularly for the delightful inscription in it.

I shall read it with the greatest of interest at Warm Springs, Georgia, whither (sic) I am going on Saturday for a ten day holiday.

Some day I want your advice on the problem of the States' care of the blind, and if you come to Albany this winter I hope you will come to visit us at the Mansion.

Very sincerely yours,

Franklin D. Roosevelt
