ALS in pencil, two pages, 5 x 8, December 4, 1963. Letter written from the Dallas County Jail, in full: "I know that I've neglected you and haven't contacted you, but in my heart I have thought about you often. Bill I'm certain how you feel about me, because Cecil has always told me how you have been so fond of me, and believe me I cherish your friendship. Bill, you know what has happened is rather difficult for me to write about. I loved my President and was in such deep mourning about his tragic passing, anyway you know the rest. Bill take care of yourself and please come to the trial if you can, it would give me a great deal of courage if I were to see you." Includes the original mailing envelope addressed in Ruby's hand, incorporating his signature in the return address area: "Jack Ruby, County Jail, Dallas, Texas." In fine condition. A remarkable letter offering Ruby's candid thoughts in the aftermath of tragedy.
