DS, signed “John Kennedy,” two pages, 8 x 11.75, June 8, 1959. An interesting power of attorney document, in part: “Know all men by these presents, that I, John F. Kennedy, of 122 Bowdoin Street, City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, do hereby constitute, designate, and appoint Paul E. Murphy, of No. 230 Park Avenue, City and State of New York, my true and lawful attorney, for me, in my name and stead.” Gorgeously double-matted and framed with a photo of Kennedy in his rocking chair to an overall size of 34 x 19.5. In fine condition, with expected document wear. Murphy worked in Joseph Kennedy's New York office, where he oversaw some of the family’s business and issued checks for JFK’s expenses. An unusual document signed by Senator Kennedy at a distinct turning point in his political career—just six months later, he would announce his presidential candidacy. Oversized. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
