Charles Dickens
Boston, Sunday Twenty Third February
1868
Dear Dr. Howe,
Before I answer your letter will you have a calculation made, and kindly reply to the following question:- What would be the cost of printing in raised letters for the use of the blind, an edition of say 250, or 500 copies, of the old Curiosity shop?
Faithfully yours,
Charles Dickens

Historical Note:
In 1842, British writer Charles Dickens visited Perkins and wrote of his encounter with Laura Bridgman, a student who was deafblind, in his book, "American Notes." Dickens described the twelve-year-old girl in sentimental terms, dwelling upon her innocence and childish beauty, and likened her to a prisoner liberated from a vault of isolation. This effusive praise increased her celebrity and popularity throughout the world. Dickens also offered to pay for the printing of "The Old Curiosity Shop" for readers who were blind. The books were printed in Boston Line Type at Perkins in 1869 at the author's expense.

Finally, the bed is done! It is modeled after this picture from Peacock Alley. Time for wall art!
I didn't want a typical bed-in-the-bag look, I wanted a formally dressed bed that was "ethnic," different, and pink. But if I were to purchase everything in the inspiration picture, it amounted to more than $1500. I wanted the same look for less--how did I do? :)
I blogged about my decorating process here in an entry titled, "A Good Sale is a Blessing from God"
