Answer 1

During her stay at New York, Helen met Mr. Lawrence Hutton and Mrs. Hutton at their home where she had a chance to peruse their library and read the beautiful sentiments and bright thoughts written by their friends. Helen admired Mr. Hutton for his power of bringing the best thoughts in everyone. Mrs. Hutton gradually became one of Helens truest friends who encouraged her during her moments of depression. It was at their house that Helen met many literary figures, such as Mr. William D. Howells, Mark Twain, Mr. Richard W. Gilder, Mr. Edmund C. Stedman, Mr. Charles Dudley Warner and Mr. John Burroughs. His generosity and sweet-nature was self-evident being a good friend in all sorts of weather. Mrs Hutton was a true and tried friend because much that Helen held to be sweet and precious was owed to her. She had often advised and helped Helen in her progress through college. Especially when Helen found her work particularly difficult and discouraging, she would write letters to Helen to mak her feel glad and brave. Mrs Hutton was one of those from whom one learned that one painful duty fulfilled made the next plainer and easier.

Answer 2

Mrs. Hutton was the wife of Mr. Laurence Hutton at the time when she and Helen Keller became friends. Helen was friends with both Mr. and Mrs. Hutton. The couple lived in a "lovely home" in New York City, which Helen visited often.

Mrs. Hutton was a loyal friend to Helen. In fact, Helen noted that a lot of what she "[held] sweetest" and "most precious" was because of her dear friend. Her friend offered her advice and guidance when she was at school. When Helen would become discouraged, Mrs. Hutton wrote her encouraging letters. It is evident from Helen's descriptions of her that Mrs. Hutton was a motherly figure who sought to mentor a young woman who was living away from her own mother. She had a large amount of loyalty and was always willing to help her friends.

The editor of The Story of My Life thanked Mrs. Hutton in the preface for providing many notes about Helen.
