TLS as president signed “John Kennedy,” one page, 7 x 10, White House letterhead, no date, but postmarked March 7, 1963. Letter to Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Boyd. In full: “I cannot adequately express my sorrow about your daughter’s death. Nancy was an outstanding Peace Corps Volunteer. She served the people of the Philippines with imagination and dedication. Nancy exemplified the highest ideals of the Peace Corps and the very best traditions of our country. We will always be indebted to her.” In fine condition, with a bit of scattered mild toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Twenty-year old Nancy Boyd was among 24 passengers killed in a crash of a Philippine airliner on Mindanao Island on March 2, 1963. She joined the Peace Corps the previous year and was working as a teacher’s aide in elementary schools. A touching letter involving one of Kennedy’s greatest legacies.
