Writing on the “return of Cuban Prisoners of Brigade 2506” just months after the Missile Crisis

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Attorney General letterhead, January 29, 1963. Kennedy writes to Immigration Patrol Inspector John Shepherd in Miami. In part: “I want to thank you for the work which you did in connection with the return of the Cuban Prisoners of Brigade 2506 on December 23 and 24. I appreciate how difficult it was for you not to be with your family at Christmas. But it was your unselfish devotion and dedication to your job which, combined with the efforts of many others, made it possible for these brave men to be with their families and relatives on Christmas after twenty months of suffering in prison.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In fine condition, with a hint of mild soiling and handling wear, staple and file holes, and paperclip impressions (one with faint stain) to top edge. R&R COA.
