ALS signed “Eunice,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, Special Olympics letterhead, July 26, 1989. Handwritten letter to Melody Miller, a close confidante of the Kennedy family and the deputy press secretary of Ted Kennedy, in full: “I just received your magnificent note on the Dallas Museum Display on President Kennedy. I think now, at least for us this is something good about the exhibit & that is in your own words ‘It is not a tourist spot as much as it is a pilgrimage’ and secondly that young people knowing the many facets of his personality that he gave to our political life can think of the goodness & challenge & excitement & even laughter & joy that political life can be for all of us. I am now happy that the memorial has been established, & that feeling is gained greatly from your note & from your explanation on & development of the exhibit over these many months.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in the hand of Eunice Kennedy, who marks the contents as “Personal.”
