ALS, in pencil, six pages, lightly-lined, 5 x 8, December 2, 1963. Lengthy letter to “Marvin.” In part: “Your letter was most welcome…it gave me a real lift to hear from you. I guess Bob Craven made up the money he owed on those checks because he still is in Calif. and not in Dallas. Tell him that I did go personally to the district attorney’s office and tried to get them not to be to [sic] tough on him, but wanted all of the money by Friday. Isn’t it ironic that was the day that will go down in history as the blackest of days…By the way, I intended to write to you, before all that happened, and I don’t want you to think that I’m answering your letter just because I have plenty of time on my hands…In the very near future I may need you as a character witness etc. so will keep in touch with you…Isn’t life strange, I’ll bet you guys have kicked yourselves a thousand times why you ever came to Dallas, the hardships and rough times you guys went through, and then somehow fate arranged our destiny to meet one another. Of course I realize that I’m no bargain, but at least I’ve made an effort to be a sincere friend if nothing else.” The last page of the letter bears a full-page postscript, also signed at the conclusion, “Jack Ruby.” In fine condition, with some light soiling to last page, as well as some brushing to postscript signature. Written just two weeks after Kennedy’s assassination and Ruby’s subsequent shooting of Oswald, this letter offers a poignant passage on how November 22, 1963, affected him personally.
