biosketch on mr William
endicott

Answer 1

In chapter 9, Helen relays her first trip toBoston in May of 1888 to visit the Perkins Institute for the Blind. While in Boston, she met many friends and visited many sites, including Bunker Hill. Mr. William Endicott and his daughter were two of her many good friends she met while in Boston. Mr. Endicott owned an ocean-side farm near Boston called Beverly Farms; the farm was close enough to the water that the ships sailing from Boston to Europe could be seen passing by, and Mr. Endicott took the time to describe each one to Helen. While on the farm, Helen explored the Endicotts' rose garden, played with their dogs, and fed their horse sugar. Mr. Endicott became such a good friend of hers that she states she "saw him many times" after having first met him that summer.
