Ten-page handwritten letter, dated August 3, 1964, from Jacqueline Kennedy to Mrs, Lincoln on personalized "Mrs. John F. Kennedy" paper. A very revealing and personal letter from Mrs. Kennedy that she wrote to Mrs. Lincoln after seeing her Uncle Lefty Lewis. Lefty Lewis was a historian and librarian who realized that all of the papers that Mrs. Lincoln had saved from her time working for John F. Kennedy, both as a Senator and President, needed to be dated, annotated, and saved. As a result, he has made Mrs. Kennedy promise to write to Mrs. Lincoln to make sure that she will do so.
Mrs. Kennedy writes "I said I was sure you had done that - but I don't mind writing you about it in the middle of the night - as I am now doing - as it is all for President Kennedy and the rest of our lives you and I will do all we can for him." She goes on to write "I am sure that you have done all that - but if you haven't - just forget about everything else - because Uncle Lefty says that never before in history has there been such a gold mine of what will reveal the true man - as there is in all the things you have saved." Mrs. Kennedy describes her Uncle's interest in this matter as "He loved the President - and he wants to make sure - as you and I do - that future people will know all his different sides - and how much he himself did - so that we just won't get the Sorenson state paper view of his administration." She signs the letter with "Thanks so much dear Mrs. Lincoln Love Jackie." Very good condition. 7 x 5
