TLS, one page, 6.25 x 9.25, John F. Kennedy Coat of Arms letterhead, July 25, 1968. Letter to artist and needlepoint designer Leslie Tillett, in full: “I finally had the occasion to give your papers to Mr. McNamara. He was most interested but I would not expect an immediate follow-through as I know all the World Bank problems in these places are so huge. They don’t seem to have gotten down to details yet, but I know he will and that some good will come of it eventually. Some people who used to be with Senator Robert Kennedy were talking about helping the poor Negro workers in the South—using their skills (for making quilts, etc.) so that they could market their wares and make some money. Perhaps some time this fall we could talk about this, with you, as I am certain you would be a greater help than anyone.” Jackie adds the salutation in her own hand. In fine condition, with some light creasing.
