15		I took my final examinations for Radcliffe on the 29th and 3oth of June. The subjects I offered were Elementary and Advanced Greek, Advanced Latin, Algebra, and Geometry. I worked by myself, the papers being copied for me in Braille. This arrangement worked very well in the languages; but in Mathematics it caused me much trouble and anxiety, the Braille used being different from what I had been accustomed to. However, a few days later I received a certificate of admission to Radcliffe, and I was glad to find that I had passed in all the subjects without a single condition.

16		Sincerely yours, Helen Keller.
