[Address code: 5085 London 133 1/33 21] NLT [Cable Night Letter] Miss Helen Keller Forest Hills NY. Distressed news teacher but she is liberated from the darkness and conflict of earth with mortal blindness lost in immortal vision and looks upon the face of the divine teacher STOP At the halting place of her sweet spirits departure we get a glimpse of things beyond and catch the dawn that breaks upon all earthly night STOP The friend of all good wherever she found it the champion of every cause that had for its object the betterment of mankind a heart of overflowing mercy which touched the sorest of human wounds with heavenly skill the loss of so choice a one cannot but be great but it is only for a season STOP We shall soon look for her beautiful face in the morning. General Evangeline Booth.
