Jackie Kennedy Autograph Letter Signed as First Lady — “…acquiring art…will augment the feeling everyone has when they come here — a feeling of pride in the nation’s most beloved house…”
Jacqueline Kennedy draft letter signed “Affectionately Jackie” as First Lady, dated 11 May 1962, on White House letterhead. Addressed to Betty Beal, syndicated society columnist for the Washington Star, Jackie writes of redecorating the White House and acquiring classic American art and antiques for it: “…All these pictures are very expensive – all have a reason for being in the W. House – They are of great Americans or historical figures of interest…many paintings of great American artists would be totally unsuitable in the dignified State Rooms where the President has his State Receptions. So the pictures we acquire should all have a certain reason & appropriateness for being in the White House. They can be of people or events that are a part of our history – of significant American landscapes or historic houses. But they still can and must be great pictures – or we will defeat our own purpose – of acquiring art for the W. House which will augment the feeling everyone has when they come here – a feeling of pride in the nation’s most beloved house – & a feeling of pride in our country’s history.” Letter on two pages, measuring 5″ x 8″, has typed text on front and copious handwritten text by Jackie on both front and verso. Very good condition. Sold for $2,039.

John F. Kennedy Handwritten Speech
On 30 April 1957, a special five-man Senate committee headed by 38 year-old freshmen Senator John Kennedy chose five “outstanding” senators of the past after almost two years of study. The committee names John Calhoun, Henry Clay, Robert LaFollette, Robert Taft and Daniel Webster. Pictures of these exceptional senators would eventually be placed in a Senate reception area. On March 12, 1959, the unveiling of the portraits took place. This lot contains a colossal amount of handwritten notations on 29 pages from Kennedy for the speech or for notes regarding the five outstanding senators. At the 1959 unveiling ceremony, Kennedy reminded his audience that these long-dead senators were controversial figures in their day. Their own colleagues might not have been as quick as later generations to induct them into a senatorial hall of fame. Kennedy reported that one contemporary said of Henry Clay, “He is a bad man, an imposter, a creator of wicked schemes.” Who made those remarks? None other than Clay’s fellow honoree, John C. Calhoun. Enjoying the audience’s appreciative laughter, Kennedy continued, “On the other hand, who was it who said that Calhoun was a rigid fanatic, ambitious, selfishly partisan and a sectional …turncoat,’ with …too much genius and too little common sense,’ who would either die a traitor or a madman? Henry Clay, of course.” Kennedy then concluded his joking references to the Great Triumvirate with the help of a quote by John Quincy Adams, who viewed with alarm “the gigantic intellect, the envious temper, the ravenous ambition, and the rotten heart of Daniel Webster.” When Senator Kennedy announced his committee’s selections, he expressed frustration over the exclusion from the list of his three personal favorites. If the decision had been entirely up to him, he told his audience, the Senate Reception Room would include Webster, Taft, and Norris, along with Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut and Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. As an outlet for the frustration of passing over these and other strong candidates, the committee included in its final report the names of fifteen other senators. “Perhaps some future committee of the Senate, meeting at some future date, will find occasion to honor additional names.” These 29 pages have thousands of words in Kennedy’s hand, mostly illegible to the common eye, but worthy of further deciphering from a Kennedy handwriting expert. Also included are two original Government printed booklets regarding detailing of the unveiling, and a typed letter from another Senator to Kennedy dated just days before the unveiling about the Proceedings booklet mentioned above. Sold for $10,408.
John F. Kennedy Autograph Letter Signed to Edward R. Murrow

Murrow, the famed broadcaster, “Many thanks for your very kind statement on ‘Starring the Editors’ this evening. I appreciated it very much.

With best wishes / Cordially / John Kennedy / December 1st.” One page, written on both sides in bold blue felt-tipped pen; three fold creases, otherwise spotless. 8″ x 10.5″. Sold for $6,463.

John F. Kennedy typed letter signed ”John Kennedy” as President, who here faces a delicate Civil Rights issue early in his Presidency. On White House stationery dated 28 March 1961, JFK writes to New Jersey Congressman Hugh J. Addonizio, who had written the President two weeks earlier when one of his constituents, a black woman, was denied lodging in South Carolina while attending the Civil War Centennial Commission. Kennedy writes, ”Thank you for your letter of March 14th in connection with the Civil War Centennial Commission’s Assembly scheduled for April 11 and 12. I want you to know that I wrote the Chairman of the Centennial Commission on March 14th requesting that the Commission, as an official body of the United States Government, take action assuring that the arrangements for its Assembly meet the standards of nondiscrimination set forth by our Constitution. I agree with you that it is contrary to public policy for agencies and officials of the United States Government to sponsor meetings where the members may be discriminated against in any way by reason of their color or race.” Kennedy finishes the letter by adding a handwritten postscript, ”the matter now seems to be better.” However, according to an article in the 6 May 1961 edition of ”The Richmond Afro-American” entitled ”What It’s All About,” Kennedy’s request was apparently rebuffed: ”…Russia successfully put a man in outer space at the same time that America unsuccessfully tried to get a colored woman in a South Carolina hotel…” the article reads. Instead, a Confederate flag was raised at the South Carolina State House during the event. Single-page letter measures 7.25” x 10.25”. In near fine condition with just a smudge to the end of Kennedy’s note. Transmittal note from the White House Mail Room is stapled to the upper left corner. From the family of Congressman Addonizio’s secretary M.M. Sullivan. With a COA from PSA/DNA. Sold for $5,000.
