| Content Description | Full quotation reads, "There [is] nothing more pleasing to a independent person than to know that his kindness is received with a grateful heart by those on whom it is bestowed." Among the collateral to an autograph quotation by Laura Bridgman, a deaf-blind mute. Attached to the reverse side of a sheet of paper with two newspaper clippings about Bridgman glued to the front. Bergandthat's handwriting style suggests she was also blind, possibly an acquaintance of Bridgman's from the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts, where Bridgman became a student in 1837. |
