ALS signed “Jackie Kennedy,” one page, 6.25 x 9.25, personal letterhead, no date but circa 1960. Letter to artist Franz Bueb, in part: "For Christmas my mother gave me the drawing of me which she bought at your exhibition last summer in Newport. Would you trade it for the one you did of Alice (Auchincloss) that I loved so much in Southampton? I do hope you still have it. Mine has a frame & everything—I will send it anywhere you like if you will just send me that one of Alice unframed! I hope we'll see you later on this winter when we'll be in Palm Beach. Do let me know soon about this as I will be so happy if that drawing will be mine!" In fine condition. Bueb was a German-born artist who taught painting to Jacqueline Kennedy during the 1950s and 1960s. Bueb painted many portraits of the future first lady, as well as various landscapes of Chatsworth, England, the former home of John F. Kennedy’s late sister Kathleen.
