TLS, signed “Joe,” one page, 7.25 x 10.25, personal letterhead, June 4, 1960. Months before his son’s triumph in the 1960 presidential election, Kennedy writes to Phil Regan. In full: “Dear Phil: I would really like to help this boy out as he has been most helpful to us. I thought possibly you might know some of the steel crowd out there in California. And perhaps, they would give him a deposit as a gesture. I would appreciate anything that you can do. My warmest personal regards.” In fine condition, with usual folds, unrelated ink notations on the reverse, and a few bends and tiny spots. R&R COA.
