In part; “This will acknowledge receipt of your letter…relative to the possibility of the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation donating a statue of St. Joseph for the meeting room of the St. Joseph Society, in the Holy Trinity School. I wish I could be of some assistance to you in this particular connection, but must advise you that the Foundation has been concentrating its efforts on donations to institutions and charitable organizations which specialize in work with children, and am afraid that a request such a [sic] yours would be outside our province at this time.” In fine condition, with a horizontal crease and a mild shade of toning.
