I had met a young blind girl in Portsmouth, Ohio and had decided to marry her. Her family was rich and she was the only child. A lady came to her and wanted to teach her to read Braille, since she could not; but the girl said no, that it was too dumb.

I went to see the girl one evening. That morning someone had read her part of a novel and now she wanted me to read to her. I told her she should learn to read Braille. She did not want to, but finally she said she would learn it.
