Onetime liquor importer, movie executive, Ambassador to Great Britain, and patriarch of the fabled political dynasty that included his sons John, Robert, and Edward. TLS signed “Dad,” one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, June 25, 1956. Letter to his daughter, addressed to Mrs. Peter Lawford. In part, “ Since you are the only one of my little children who has written to me, I must tell you that if I have a house here next summer, the first reservation will be for you, that ought to make everyone pretty mad…The weather here has not been as good as it might be, but it has not prevented golf every morning and swimming every day. Mother spent last weekend with Lord Beaverbrook in London but I expect her back here next Monday. There are not many people yet on the Riviera, but we expect them from this week on. I had another fifty minutes talk with the Holy Father and had Tardini and Dell Acqua, the two Secretaries of State, Prince Pacellia and Enrico for lunch in my apartment in Rome, even the Roman Police wanted to report on that…In the meantime take very good care of yourself, don't drink too much scotch, nor smoke too many cigarettes and stay up so late at night. How do you stay so beautiful doing all these things in the eight wonders of the World.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds, some light creasing, wrinkles, and stains. LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
