Description

Under the influence of "my brother, Bob," JFK responds to a constituent

TLS signed “John Kennedy,” one page, 8 x 10.5, United States Senate letterhead, May 22, 1957. Letter to constituent Victoria A. Craig in Arlington, Massachusetts, in part: "My brother, Bob, has given me your letter addressed to him with respect to your desire to secure employment with the State [or] Federal Government. I would like to be of all possible assistance to you and I suggest that you call Mr. Frank Morrissey of my Boston Office…and make an appointment with him to discuss the matter. He will be glad to assist you and I am informing him that you will be calling him…P.S. I certainly enjoyed seeing the news clip concerning your son, John, and I am returning it to you as you requested." In very good to fine condition, with overall creasing, a light stain and short tear to the lower left, and an extra horizontal fold. A desirable letter revealing the influence that Robert F. Kennedy had on JFK with respect to his policies and correspondence. At this time, RFK was serving as the chief counsel of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee, while JFK was serving in his fourth year as a Senator from Massachusetts.
