Description

“I am definitely opposed to the lifting of rent controls”

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, Congress of the United States letterhead, March 19, 1947. Letter to a constituent. In part: “I have your letter of recent date, and enclosure of an editorial on ‘Rent Control,’ from the New York Times of March 2nd. In reply, I wish to advise you that I am definitely opposed to the lifting of rent controls at the present time, and shall support any legislation which will retain these controls.” In fine condition, with a subtle overall block of toning from previous display. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, bearing a pre-printed free frank. A highly desirable letter from Kennedy’s first congressional term in which he takes a strong stance on a hot-button political issue. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
