Description

TLS, one page, 7 x 10, personal letterhead, January 14, 1953. Letter to Mr. and Mrs. Andre de Limur, thanking them for their generous campaign contribution. In part: "Since November 4th my thoughts have turned often to those whose faith and support—and financial contributions—helped to make victory possible…That is why I am particularly glad of this opportunity to express my gratitude to you." In fine condition, with show-through in the bottom blank area from pencil notations on the back.

Count Andre de Limur was a French Army WWI Pilot and Washington diplomat. His daughter, Mary, was a friend of Jacqueline Kennedy and introduced Jackie to John Husted, Jr., her fiancée of three months before she broke it off, later to marry JFK.
