Description

“Jackie is expecting this week”—JFK anticipates fatherhood

Exceptional ALS signed “John,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, no date but circa November 1957. In full: “Many thanks for the invitation. As Jackie is expecting this week I won’t be able to come down—I will be there in December & I will look forward to seeing you.” In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing and a few light stains. Jackie gave birth to Caroline, their first daughter, on November 27, 1957, amidst JFK’s busy reelection campaign. This was an especially joyous occasion as the couple had suffered a stillborn daughter the year prior in an early instance of the ‘Kennedy curse.’ With such intimate personal content, this is an immensely desirable autograph letter by the father-to-be. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
