These two letters, dated November 6th, 1885 and May 5th, 1886, are from the superintendent, S. T. Walker, of the Kansas Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb regarding the institution to Kansas Governor John Martin. One letter discusses Miss Daggy's application to fill a teacher or supervisor vacancy acknowledging that her application will be put on file. The other letter is an invitation to the graduation ceremony. The Deaf and Dumb Asylum was founded in 1861 and changed to the Kansas Institution for the Education of the Blind in 1877. It still exists today as the Kansas State School for the Blind.
