Description

Collection of 10 unsigned handwritten notes and three file folders bearing handwritten notations from Kennedy, on various size sheets of White House stationery, almost all to her personal secretary Mary Gallagher. One bears writing from Mary Gallagher on one side that reads, “‘Latest Slides’—Kay McGowan wants to know Mrs. Kennedy’s reaction on them. Mary G. 11/19/62,” on the reverse Kennedy writes, “Tell her I marked slides of ones I like. Can I keep slides? Don’t need any new clothes now—as no engagements till well into New Year—but when I do will order—Tell her I love black evening dress.” [Kay McGowan was the contact with Oleg Cassini]; “Caroline’s saddle and bridle from Chile—on 3rd floor—or ask Mary Gal”; “Mary Can you ask—(call today) Kay McGowan what things she has in work for me & when they will be delivered—find out what things I ordered she hasn’t got started on—as I may cancel some—it’s been so long & I don’t need them so much now—put on my desk today”; “Mary 1) In the red leather scrapbook would you go through it & paste in the pictures that are just clipped—then have 1962 stamped on the back—& the seal on the front & put it in our shelf.” In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a copy of a certificate of authenticity from Gallagher. RR Auction COA.
