Miss Helen Keller,

My dear Miss Keller:
I am very grateful to you for just about the nicest letter I have had since Election Day. I appreciate all that you say and I hope some day this winter that I may tell you so in person.
I fell somewhat guilty about the Thanksgiving Day Proclamation because I really took practically all of it from the Book of Common Prayer--a particular prayer which I have always been fond of. But it does seem to express one's thoughts about Thanksgiving Day and this particular year I am confident that more people than usual have been turning their thoughts towards higher standards and more unselfish service.
Very sincerely yours,
Franklin D. Roosevelt
FDR-HO
