Description

Kennedy pursues Italian organizations in his district

TLS signed “John,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, May 8, 1953. Letter asking help from a constituent to assemble a mailing list of Italian organizations. In part, “Earlier in this session of Congress, I introduced to the Senate a Resolution calling for a Free Plebiscite to be held in the Territory of Trieste. Because of the natural interest of the people of Italian extraction in this problem I thought it would be well to send a copy of this Resolution, together with a statement I made at the time, to all of the Italian organizations throughout the State…I am writing to you at this time in the hope that you would find it possible to collect such a list of Italian organizations in your area…While this is the first time this need for a current mailing list has come up, I feel sure that, as time goes on, it will be most helpful to have a list of other nationality group organizations and officials.” Kennedy also adds a brief handwritten postscript, “I hope things are going well for you.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. In very fine condition. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
