EXCEPTIONAL GROUP OF ITEMS TO CASUALTY JAMES BRADY,KENNEDY SENDS MESSAGE OF COURAGE TO THE FALLEN PRESS SECRETARY “THIS IS TRULY A TIME OF SHOCK, OUTRAGE AND GRIEF FOR ALL AMERICANS” On March 30, 1981, Reagan delivered an address at the Washington Hilton Hotel. Would-be assassin John Hinckley, Jr. was waiting outside in a small crowd including news media, the Canadian prime minister, Pierre Trudeau and a number of other foreign dignitaries. Hinckley blasted his revolver six times. Reagan, White House Press Secretary James Brady, Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, and District of Columbia police officer Thomas Delehanty were wounded. Hinckley was quickly subdued by the Secret Service. The entire incident was captured on video by television reporters. James Scott “Jim” Brady (born August 29, 1940) was Assistant to the President and White House Press Secretary under President Ronald Reagan. After nearly being killed and becoming permanently disabled as a result of an assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981, Brady became an ardent supporter of gun control. Exceptional group of 7+ White House and congressional letters, invitations and other items to James Brady, including plastic Presidential Seal Visitor pass items: • Typed Letter Signed from Edward Kennedy as senator on US Senate letterhead. April 3, 1981. Four days after the earth shattering incident: “Dear Jim, This is truly a time of shock, outrage and grief for all Americans. We are united in our tremendous admiration fort your courage and determination, and in our prayers for your recovery. An ancient philosopher once said “Man is loved mainly because of two virtues: courage first, loyalty second.” You have an abundance of these virtues, Jim, and you are loved. I will pray for you daily. Sincerely, Ed Kennedy.” He inscribes in his own pen: “My hope for a speedy recovery.” With original Franked envelope (printed). Fine. • Personal invitation to “the Honourable James S.
