I would be most appreciative if you could refund me what I paid for it—I ask this because my husband does not like it at all—I am sure in the not too distant future I can find something in your gallery which will please us both—You will have a most grateful and indebted customer if you see fit to do this—I hope you will—could you let me know." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Kennedy's own hand.
