Answer:
I think you meant to ask:Read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.
Dr. Bell advised my father to write to Mr. Anagnos, director of the Perkins Institution in Boston, the scene of Dr. Howe's great labours for the blind, and ask him if he had a teacher competent to begin my education. This my father did at once, and in a few weeks there came a kind letter from Mr. Anagnos with the comforting assurance that a teacher had been found. This was in the summer of 1886. But Miss Sullivan did not arrive until the following March.

Keller’s father contacted the director of the Perkins Institution and requested a teacher for his daughter. After a long wait, Miss Sullivan arrived at the Kellers’ house in March 1887.In Helen Keller's "The Story of My Life", she narrates how she began to learn and live her life as a blind and deaf person since her childhood. She recounts how she came to be after her lessons with Miss Annie Sullivan.At the end of Chapter III, Helen mentions how Dr. Alexander Graham Bell who they had consulted about her condition had suggested her father Mr. Keller to write to Mr. Anagnos. Being the director of Perkins Institution in Boston, he would be able to suggest any teacher to help Helen.
