TLS, one page, 6.25 x 9, Congress of the United States letterhead, July 7, 1952. Letter to Joseph Maher in Waltham, Massachusetts. In full: “My brother has informed me of your presence at the meeting held in behalf of my candidacy on Wednesday, July 2. I sincerely wish to thank you for your interest and hope you can see your way clear towards helping Bob Grimes in Waltham. Bob informs me that you will aid us in registration, and I’m sure your experience along these lines can be very well utilized in this most important function. Again allow me to express my appreciation, and I shall look forward to seeing you as the campaign progresses.” In fine condition, with signature very light, but still legible. Kennedy defeated Republican incumbent Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. in the November 1952 election for the senate seat. With the campaign run by his brother Bobby, John Kennedy had made a point of visiting every city, town, and village in Massachusetts at least once during the campaign.
