TLS, one page, 7.75 x 10.25, United States Senate letterhead, October 6, 1953. Letter to constituent Walter J. McCann, who had worked on his 1952 campaign. In part: “In regard to any possibility in my office, I have had a full staff since early last year. As I am sure you can understand, with the volume of work involved in a Senatorial office, it was necessary for me to have a complete staff when I began my term in the Senate. Any changes at this time are unlooked for; however, I shall be glad to keep your name on file and in the event that anything should develop, I will be in touch with you…I might suggest that you contact the Democratic State Committee at 146 Bowdoin Street, Boston, to see what ideas they might have…I shall be happy to contact the proper authorities in your behalf.” In fine condition, with staple holes to the upper left. Having married Jacqueline Bouvier only three weeks earlier, Kennedy had just returned to Washington from his honeymoon in Acapulco when he wrote this letter informing McCann that there were no openings in his staff. McCann later attempted to enter politics, unsuccessfully running for the Massachusetts State House of Representatives in 1962. A desirable letter from JFK’s first term in the Senate.
