TLS, one page, 6.25 x 8.5, personal letterhead, September 30, 1958. Letter to a man seeking help from Kennedy’s contacts. In full: “I have your letter and I can quite understand your desire to get started on your idea. For the past seven or eight years, however, I have not kept up any of my contacts and so, I do not know any banker, investor, or publisher who would be interested in your proposition. There may be some of them around, but it has been a long time now since I have discussed any business deal with anyone. I would be glad to help you if I could, but I just do not know anyone to whom I might refer you. When one is not active in business, one loses contacts very quickly. Sorry, I cannot help you.” In fine condition, with a slightly trimmed bottom edge. RR Auction COA.
