Jacqueline Kennedy autograph draft letter signed ''Jackie'' on White House stationery, addressed to friend and philanthropist Jane Engelhard. Although Kennedy crosses out several sections of her letter, all content is still legible. One such section reads in part: ''...Jack's office is a madhouse as you can imagine - Every now + then I hear something like the Montcalm business & it is so upsetting - Most of the time it goes amazingly well - but all the bright people work in politics & war & I wish he could get someone who knew something precious when they saw it for the thank you side - I will see that all is remedied and find that unknown man & get the book up in our own library - It is sad because if J had seen that book he would have brought it home. It is just the kind of thing he most appreciates. Daddy was in the Cincinnati & that book would be such a treasure I will find it...'' Four page letter on two sheets, measuring 6.75'' x 8.5'', is in near fine condition with only paper clip residue.
