Hand-made Valentine collage, undoubtedly made by Jacqueline Kennedy, done on both sides of two sheets of 9 x 12 red construction paper with clipped paper doilies around the edges of two pages and bound together by red yarn. Partial articles by Drew Pearson and Betty Beale are on the cover. Page two pictures two dancers with the heads of John F. Kennedy and Robert McNamara affixed. Page three depicts two dancers with the heads of McNamara and Jacqueline Kennedy affixed. Headlines from February 17 and 18, 1962, Washington Post articles were affixed to pages 1–3. Photocopies of the actual headlines with articles are present. Examples: the word “Nuremberg” was cut off from a Feb. 18th article and replaced with the orchestra leader in the cover page headline: “Tragic Lesson of History / Pinpointed by Lester Lanin.” Over a depiction of McNamara and Jackie dancing on page three, the name “Beethoven” was cut off and replaced to make the headline read: “McNamara’s Great Variations / Uncover Startling New Talent.” Accompanied by a hand-addressed envelope in Jacqueline’s hand, 6.5 x 5, to “The Secretary of Defense,” and “By Hand,” written along the bottom. Envelope also bears a pre-printed franking signature. Some missing sections of doilies, missing lower right corner of cover, and expected handling wear, otherwise fine condition.
