KENNEDY, John F. (1917-1963). Typed letter signed ("John Kennedy") to J. C. Hendricks, Washington 1 October, 1963.

One page, 224 x 170 mm, on White House letterhead, (light toning).

Kennedy thanks Hendricks for his "generous words of commendation," and was encouraged "to know that you share my views regarding the nuclear test ban treaty."

[With:] KENNEDY, Jacqueline (1929-1994). Photograph signed ("Jaqueline Kennedy"), n.p., n.d. 205 X 255mm. A portrait with John Kennedy, Jr. inscribed "For Bill". * Photograph signed ("Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis") n.p., n.d. 252 x 204mm. Inscribed in the blank lower margin to "Lou Procino." * Autograph note signed ("Jackie") to Steve Rubin, n.p., n.d. One page, 205 x 116mm on Bantam Doubleday Dell letterhead. A memo on a book on "The Tibetan Holocaust," noting that "The book will need cutting. My only reservation is: the style is very spare, almost monotonous. It isn't subjective, like Life & Death in Shanghai, but cumulative. I suppose one could get a lot of quotes for this — Greenpeace, Richard Gere, John Avedon etc. Please direct!" * Autograph note signed ("Jackie") to Steve Rubin, n.p., n.d. One page, 205 x 116mm on Bantam Doubleday Dell letterhead. A memo concerning "The Little Savage," asking "Do you like this French novel - 1st chapter? I found it so fresh & great. I've asked to see the only thing…." * Typed letter signed ("Jackie") to Sir John Pope-Hennessy, New York, 16 September 1992. One page, 278 X 215mm. on Doubleday letterhead. She writes of her relief that Sir John is back on his feet, and asking her to "convey my gratitude to Mr. Mellon for his thoughtfulness in getting in touch with me. I would darkly love to have a chance to do your collected essays, but I think you are right on the mark: this isn't a book for Doubleday. I do with you all the best in publishing it with Phaidon."
