Edie Bouvier Beale autograph letter signed. Jackie Kennedy's eccentric cousin writes to a friend in a letter dated simply, ''Wed''. Accompanied by mailing envelope postmarked 1 May 1981. Letter in green ink reads in part, ''Dearest Janet - Thank you for the little graphology book. I used to collect samples of handwriting when I was a little girl - penmanship fascinated me so! They use it (analysis of handwriting) in court cases to decide what state the person was in! I think I had better wait until I have the money for a Hindu (by the moon) astrologist - thank you anyway for offering your astrologist. Your horoscope sounds great! I thought you had a wonderful successful aura - only thing I could not make out was the tape - thin brunette who seemed so near you! They say everyone today is a psychic because these are Biblical (Prophet) times we are living in. I heard poor Prince Charles and his bride will be sent to Australia to get practice in the Diplomatic Life - he has to cut the home ties and leave love behind for duty I guess! Those murders in Atlanta is the Klan at work - they want all the black politicians to resign...Love - Edie B.'' Runs 2pp. on a single sheet of card-style stationery. Measures 3.75'' x 5.25''. Near fine.
