Description

“Eunice seems to be in a much more receptive frame of mind and I think is improving steadily but slowly”

TLS, two pages, 5.5 x 7.75, personal letterhead, November 15, 1941. Letter to Dr. Sara Jordan, renowned gastroenterologist and one of the Lahey Clinic's four founding physicians. In part: “I have definitely given up reading to any great extent and confine myself to the radio for news…I have had two or three bad stomach upsets but they were due mostly to eating something that was off my diet…I had a Chef’s salad at the Waldorf one night which gave me such bad cramps that I fainted dead away. I suppose most anything might be in a Chef’s salad. Eunice seems to be in a much more receptive frame of mind and I think is improving steadily but slowly.” Both pages are double-suede-matted and framed with a portrait of Kennedy to an overall size of 26.25 x 14.25. In fine condition, with a punch hole to top edge of both pages and pencil notation to top of first page. Oversized. RR Auction COA.
