Description

President Kennedy signs a photograph for one of his youngest admirers!

President John F. Kennedy inscribed photograph in ink to Marian Holliday and a TLS on White House stationery to Marian's parents: Unique inscribed President Kennedy photograph to Marian Holliday then 10 months old looking up as if she were watching and listening to President Kennedy delivering his speech on television. President Kennedy inscribes this 10″ x 8″ cardstock photo, "For Marian—with best wishes, John Kennedy, May 1963" and encloses a typed letter signed as president to her parents which together shine a light again on President Kennedy's great wit and sense of humor.

Typed letter signed as president on official White House stationary to the parents of Marian Holliday:

May 13, 1963
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Holliday,
Warmest thanks for your thoughtfulness in sending the photograph evidencing the success of your political guidance! It is to be hoped, of course, that a Democratic President will command equally rapt attention in Marian's later years.
With every good wish,
Sincerely,
John Kennedy

A one-of-a-kind pairing and another example of JFK's great wit and sense of humor.
