Description

A very early thank-you letter to a member of the ‘Fearsome Foursome’

ALS signed “John,” one page, 5 x 7, no date. Letter of thanks to Roosevelt Greir of the Los Angeles Rams. In full: “Thank you so much for the wonderful wonderful football and plaque. I still don’t see how you got all those football players to sign it. Also please thank the people who signed it. The plaque was so nice.” Matted and framed to an overall size of 15 x 18. In very good condition, with mild overall toning and foxing from previous display and last line of text and signature a couple of shades light, but still legible. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Bob Cochran which states, in part: “I attest to the authenticity of this hand written letter as a young child from John F. Kennedy, Jr., to Roosevelt Greir. It was purchased from another JFK enthusiast…It was written before Roosevelt Greir was a bodyguard to Bobby Kennedy at the time of his assassination.” Greir was guarding Ethel Kennedy the night her husband was shot, and disarmed Sirhan Sirhan and then protected him from further violence. A very early letter with interesting and direct association to two important members of the Kennedy family. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
