Scarce ALS signed “Jack K.,” one page both sides, 7 x 10.5, Stanford University letterhead, no date, but circa 1940. Letter to Mr. Goldsmith. In full: “Thank you very much for sending me the issue of Foreign Policy Bulliten. I appreciate your interest very much. Hope to see you down South this winter as I expect to get back for Christmas.” Missing top left corner tip, and a couple light pencil notations, presumably by Goldsmith, otherwise fine condition. Earlier in 1940, Kennedy published his senior thesis Why England Slept, which became a best seller. After graduating from Harvard, and unsure of his next move, he enrolled in the politically conservative Stanford Graduate School of Business in the fall. His stay did not last as he would join the Navy in May of 1941.
