TUNNEY, GENE
(1898 - 1978) American boxer who defeated Jack Dempsey twice for the heavyweight championship. Fine content T.L.S. ""Gene"" on his personal letterhead, 2pp. 4to., New York, Dec. 17, 1959, to his longtime friend Robert Gros. In small part: ""àI hope you were able to catch up with President Eisenhower somewhere along the line. He has made a wonderful conquest of goodwill in all the countries he has visited. I personally believe he is the only man in the world who could have done what he has done and is doingàJack Kennedy seems crooked. He lost the Southern bloc last week in a convention of Southern delegates in Atlanta. He is claiming bigotry, but I feel that the Southerners want Lyndon Johnson as their candidate and I am not at all sure that a great many Northerners do not feel the same way about ità"". Stapled together at top left, otherwise boldly signed and very good.
