CHANCE FOR
ADVANCEMENT
Wolcott Coomb's Teacher Would
Further Assist Him He
Will Go Soon
Evanston, Illinois.
June 81, 1910.
Mr.. A. M. Coombs,
Anadarko. Okla.

hnaCarhOs Okla.
My dear Mr.. Coombs:--
have been very busy since
returning to Chicago, or should have
written sooner. now have some
thing to tell you that think will be
of inestimable interest to you. You
realize, somewhat, how Wolcott has
taken hold Of my heart. strings IN fact
my greatest ambition in life is to see
the wealth of the world of sight and
sound opened up to him as it has been
to Helen Keller and a few others ir
his condition.
My father, as you know is a man
of national reputation in child work.
Through him / am getting Wolcott' s
case before some Of the leading men
in the philanthropic and sociological
societies in Illinois. The fact that
Wolcott lives outside the state is max
ing it more difficult, hut am get
ting there" just the same.
do not want you to put up any
mere money than you can afford, but
if you could afford to send Wolcott
to me for the summer getting him a
round trip ticket, if you can get a 80
day limit, provide him with enough
money to pay few weeks board, I
can get him before some Of these men
among them the head Professor of
Sociology at Chicago University. the
Professor of Psychology at North
western University Qocated at Evan
ston) )thebead ofthe school Of Civics. and
Philanthropy here in Chicago. ThrOugh
these men | could reach men of large
means. Iexpect thereby 10 raise sufii
cient funds to help WOlcott material
ly this summer besides getting him
acquainted with a larger horizon So
eially and intellectually.
These men would be of inestimable
value to him IN his future develop-
ment. Without such aid Helen Keller.
