I hope you will let me know if there is anything I can do.” After signing, Kennedy makes a handwritten addition: “Many thanks Francis.” The top edge bears a light penciled notation of authenticity (“OK C.H.”) from Charles Hamilton, the renowned autograph expert who published an extensive study on Kennedy’s signature.
