TLS, one page, 7.5 x 9, United States Senate letterhead, April 8, 1953. Kennedy responds to a request on behalf of a prospective Postmaster appointee. In part: “While I am sure you realize that the patronage for appointments as Postmaster is now, due to the change in the administration, in the hands of Republican members of Congress, I have nonetheless contacted the Post Office Department and recommended Mr. Peloquin for this position. I have been informed by the Post Office Department that he does rate very high on the register and apparently his chances appear excellent. I do hope everything turns out well for him.” Archivally shadow box framed with a gold-inlaid, sterling silver portrait plate issued in a limited edition by the Franklin Mint in the early-to-mid 1970s, to an overall size of 18 x 30.5.
