Description

Reacting to the market for his signature: “I will not sign this letter”

Unsigned typed letter as president, one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, October 11, 1961. JFK writes to columnist Leonard Lyons of the New York Post. In full: “I appreciate your letter about the market on Kennedy signatures. It is hard to believe that the going price is so high now. In order not to depress the market any further I will not sign this letter.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. A touch of mild soiling, otherwise fine condition. Unique! R&R COA.
