TLS signed “John Kennedy,” one page, 5.25 x 6.75, Hammersmith Farm, Newport, Rhode Island letterhead, September 12, 1957. Letter to Roy S. Chase, in full: “Thank you for your letter which I have just received. As I do not plan to be at the Cape for a few days I think the best plan would be for you to forward all the papers I would need to me at the Senate Office Building, attention of Mrs. Lincoln. I am writing her today and she will be looking out for them and we can get started on the matter.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Also accompanied by a Western Union telegram from Kennedy to Chase concerning the latter’s approval for a hardship discharge; a TLS signed “Ted Kennedy, My thanks”; a telegram and a letter of transmittal from Kennedy’s assistant T. J. Reardon, Jr.; and a receipt related to Chase’s service in the Army Reserve. An uncommon Kennedy letter given that this is the first instance in which we’ve encountered such letterhead.
