A collection of six TLSs, one from John F. Kennedy, three from Dwight D. Eisenhower (all as president), and two from Richard Nixon, both as Vice President, all to John L. Casey, Jr., the National Chairman for the Youth for Eisenhower-Nixon organization. The first letter is from Senator Kennedy, signed “John,” dated January 15, 1955, and reads, in part: “It was most kind of you to remember us and we appreciate your thoughtfulness more than we can say. I hope to be back to work in the not too distant future and look forward to seeing you some time soon.” A letter from Dwight D. Eisenhower, dated November 10, 1956, reads, in full: "With the national political election of 1956 now history, I want to express to you my deep appreciation of your work with the National Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon organization. As I have so often said, the ‘Citizens’ are particularly close to my heart, and your untiring efforts over the past weeks and months gratified and pleased me—and contributed greatly, I am certain, to the final outcome of the contest. I hope that in the months to come you will continue, as I shall, to work for the principles and ideals that we share.” Another letter dated December 2, 1956, on White House stationery places Eisenhower in Augusta, GA when he writes Casey, “I am of course delighted that you and the other leaders of the Youth for Eisenhower-Nixon want to continue to retain the structure of your organization.” The last letter, dated December 6, 1956, reads, “A good friend of the National Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon has made available to me a number of copies of a special medallion. Because of your association with that organization, it occurred to me that you might like to have one of them, on which you name will be inscribed…I hope that the medallion will serve as a suitable keepsake of the 1956 political campaign, in which both you and I had a particular interest." The last two letters are typed letters from Nixon on Office of the Vice President stationery. One letter from Nixon, dated January 29, 1957, reads in part: "I might say at the outset that after looking at the plan of action which Bob Ogden was good enough to send to the office, considerable credit for our November victory certainly goes to you two and the many able assistants which I know you had. I am glad to know that you are going to try to keep the organization in being as we must constantly look ahead to the unfinished tasks that are so evident, such as a Republican Congress in 1958.” In overall fine condition.
