ALS in pencil, signed “Jack,” two pages both sides, 4 x 6, January 8, 1966. Letter to a girlfriend, "Doris," written while imprisoned, in part: "You have been the only person that I have constantly thought of outside of my immediate family. I have received your last card and know it would be hopeless to make any attempt to answer it, because they haven't been letting my mail go out…I surely realize now what a wonderful and blissful life we had both been cheated out of. Had I only known how much you really cared for me, perhaps I too would have been more serious in our future for us…I know that I am responsible for a dreadful tragedy that has happened in the world, because I was a fool to let myself be carried away that fatal Sunday morning. Perhaps our beloved President's death had effected me more than anyone else." In fine condition, with a faint paperclip impression to the top edge. Accompanied by a letter from Doris to Ruby, four pages, November 22, 1965, informing him of her divorce, updating him on her family, and offering words of support regarding the possible commutation of his sentence.
