ANS signed “Jacqueline Kennedy,” one page, 4.5 x 3.5, White House letterhead, no date but circa early 1964. Note to Major Ralph C. Stover, in full: "For Major Stover, Thank you for all you did for the President." Includes the original White House transmittal envelope addressed in Jackie's hand, "Major Stover." In fine condition. Accompanied by a series of invitations and tickets for Mr. and Mrs. Stover to attend a White House reception held on November 20, 1963. Major Stover was a member of the White House Police Force from 1940 through 1968, helping to organize the protection of five presidents. He also played a major role in planning President Kennedy's funeral procession. These thank-you notes from Jackie are rarely found in authentic examples; generally a secretary was employed to write them. For Stover, however, she took the time to write one out. A marvelous, poignant piece following the president's assassination.
