| Title: | Thank You With My Eyes | |
| Original caption: | (Based on a recent case.) I Want to Thank You with My Eyes. I'm a May-Day baby (1919), so you see I can't talk yet, but I want the "thank you" which I feel to reach you through the brightness of my eyes which you saved from blindness. It happened this way: Father and Mother have always been pretty poor, and I guess they didn't go to school very much or learn anything about how to keep well and strong. Then, although I don't like to believe it, I am pretty sure they didn't care very much about having me come into the world. They lived in a poor section of New York before my arrival, and every once in a while a kind nurse came to visit mother, urging her to go to a maternity center so that she might learn how to take care of herself and me. Mother did go once | |
