Description

Original teletype reporting on the death of President John F. Kennedy from the collection of his secretary Evelyn Lincoln, one page, 8.5 x 5.25, in full: "Clint Hill, a Secret Service agent assigned to Mrs. Kennedy said 'He's dead' as the president was lifted from the rear of the White House touring car. Mr. Kennedy was rushed to an emergency room in the hospital. Other White House officials were in doubt as the corridors of the hospital erupted in pandemonium. The incident occurred just east of the triple underpass facing a park in downtown Dallas." Includes a black felt tip signature, "Clint Hill," on a 5 x 3 card bearing an image of the Kennedys at Love Field on the morning of November 22, 1963. In fine condition, with paper loss to the lower right corner of the teletype. The teletype originates from the famous Kennedy collection of Robert L. White.
