Description

Early ALS signed “Jackie,” penned inside a Christmas greeting card, measures 8 x 4 unfolded, no date. Letter to close friend and distant relative Rosamund Lee, whom Kennedy refers to as "Squirming Plum Pudding," in full: "I hope you have a lovely Xmas. Maybe I'll see you at the holiday dance. I hope so—and please write me a letter someday—sob—I miss you lots—squeezly blood brother." In fine condition. Of a similar age, Jackie Bouvier and Rosamund Lee shared extended family connections, and both had lived in Long Island. The cousin of Hugh D. Auchincloss, Jackie's stepfather, was Charles C. Auchincloss, who was Rosamund's maternal grandfather.
