Description

“I can’t remember anything I have read which gives one a better definition and feeling of the Renaissance…life deserves to be lived”

ALS signed “Jacqueline Onassis,” one page, 5.25 x 7.5, personal letterhead, January 23, 1975. Letter to Lois Marden at the National Geographic Society. In part: “I was fascinated by your article on Tuscany—I can’t remember anything I have read which gives one a better definition and feeling of the Renaissance—doubting Thomas’ smile—life deserves to be lived. Caroline is going there this summer and I’m bringing your article to Greece to give her…My children are carrying your articles to every point of the compass. Thank you. Wouldn’t it be lovely if they really have Gherardini blood in their veins?” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Kennedy’s hand, and signed on the reverse as part of the return address, “Onassis.” Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
