TLS signed “Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,” one page, 8 x 10.5, Doubleday letterhead, May 21, 1985. Letter to Norman Olson at Levinson’s Book Store in Sacramento. In part: “I am writing to tell you about a very special book which I am most proud to be working on…In September, Doubleday will publish A Second Paradise, a magnificent celebration of Indian courtly life…the current success of such adaptations as The Jewel in the Crown and A Passage to India attest to a renewed enjoyment of Indian arts.” Attractively double-matted and framed with a portrait to an overall size of 20.5 x 17.5. In fine condition. Kennedy had become fascinated with Indian arts and culture while visiting as first lady in March 1962. She had begun working as an editor at Doubleday in 1978, and when she revisited India in 1983 she met with Naveen Patnaik, who she commissioned to write A Second Paradise.
