TLS, 8.5 x 11, illustrated Kennedy for U.S. Senator letterhead, September 15, 1964. Kennedy writes to Jerry Granat. In part: “As I said in accepting the Senatorial nomination, the question before the voters of New York is whether the interests of the State will be better served by two Republicans who oppose the Administration or a by a Democratic Senator who can work with it effectively. My decision to enter this race was not an easy one, as you know, and it is encouraging and gratifying to know that this decision has your support.” In very good condition, with allover toning, wrinkles and small edge tears, and one mailing fold through signature. The signature is dark and clear. R&R COA. From the Jerry Granat collection.
