TLS signed “John Kennedy,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, May 14, 1957. Letter to Robert D. Moran, president of the Young Republican Club of Springfield, in full: "This will acknowledge and thank you for your letter of recent date with respect to the question of whether the minimum voting age should be lowered to eighteen. In my opinion, this is a matter which should continue to be within the jurisdiction of the individual States, inasmuch as each State can best judge the qualifications of its own voters. It is not always easy, of course, to set standards and I personally have come in contact with many young people below the age of twenty-one who would be well qualified now to consider the merits of the various candidates for public office as they would be a few years later. I appreciate your interest in writing to me on this matter. Please be assured that your views on legislative questions are always welcome." In fine condition, with creases to the upper and lower left corners, and a light paperclip impression to the top edge.
