UNFOLDING YEARS, 101 From Miss Mabel T. Boardman, Director of Volunteer Service, American National Red Cross, Washington D.C., "Dear Miss Hoyt: I am asking Mr. Migel to read this little letter as I deeply regret that my absence in Canada, on June 20th, prevents my being present at the presentation to you of the Medal for Outstanding Service to the Blind, for the year 1940. I want to ass an expression of deep admiration for and appreciation of the work that you accomplished during the many years you were associated with the Red Cross in its service of transcribing books for the blind. Your ability, your devotion and your excellent judgment were of invaluable help in this important work; and those of us at the Red Cross who were associated with you desire to extend to you our heartfelt congratulations on this recognition of your services. With very many cordial regards, I am." (Signed) Mabel T. Boardman From Mr. M.C. Migel, President, American Foundation for the Blind, New York City: "Doctor Helen Keller: Please express to Miss Hoyt my great happiness in the Committee's decision awarding her the Medal for Outstanding Service to the Blind. Miss Hoyt represents in her life work for the blind a vivid example of the great possibilities inherent in all those without physical sight in bringing happiness to their fellow men. Also express my sincere regret in being unavoidably unable to be present." (Signed) M.C. Migel
