Description

A token from her beloved first job—“the camera from the Times-Herald days”—brings back fond memories for the former first lady

TLS signed “Jackie,” one page, 5.25 x 7.5, personal letterhead, September 14, 1972. Letter to JFK’s close friend, Dave Powers. In part: “How happy I was to come home and receive your letter about the camera from the Times-Herald days. I had completely forgotten about it and am delighted to know it is in good hands.” In fine condition, with a paperclip impression to the top edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. The “good hands” she refers to are probably those ofthe JFK library collection, which Powers ran. Jackie’s affinity for photography was well-known, and her first job out of college was as the ‘Inquiring Photographer’ for the Washington Times-Herald, a position in which she posed questions to and photographed random passersby. Terrific content related to one of Kennedy’s favorite hobbies, made even more desirable by its association with Powers. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
