This month’s featured item is a very rare, investment quality piece of John F Kennedy paperwork. In exceptional condition with very minor creasing and yellowing.
Typed letter signed on onion skin paper as President. This copy was presented to the President in 1962 for signature. A close friend of Kennedy, (a former Miss America Beauty Contestant of the 1940’s) obtained the signature. A most unusual format and possibly a unique item, certainly a very rare offering. Contents read:
“May 25, 1949
Hon. John F Kennedy, M.C., House of Representatives, Washington, D.C.
Dear Jack: Nice going through the “Brass” bill. It has made a hit with all I’ve talked with. When you are next in Boston, Charlie Devens, Roger Hallowell and Rex and I and possibly Jack Kiley would like to sit down with you to discuss a problem that plaques our First District very much and the other Districts to a lesser or greater degree. On the Senior Scout Cruising plans, we are working with Com. Jack Leary who has been very helpful. National Council Meeting went off very well. Wish you might have been with us. Cordially, Arthur E Jenner, Assistant Scout Executive.”
Strong Kennedy signature added in 1962 whilst in office, blue ink, bottom right hand corner of the page.
