John F Kennedy JFK, 1954
Autograph Signed Letter (and original invitation letter)
Guaranteed Authentic
“My schedule is indefinite due to the reoccurrence of a war injury which has necessitated the use of crutches and may require correction”
Astonishing piece of History! Most JFK letters that have appeared on the market are Signed by his secretary, mostly after 1955. HOWEVER, authentically signed letters, are rare and highly desirable . Also, very few letters that have ever been sold have the invaluable historical content this one does. Most have insignificant content. For example, a JFK letter with rudimentary content like a Thank You type letter will sell for around $1500-2000. A letter where he discusses the "Bay of Pigs" ? , about $50,000! So a letter where JFK discusses his WW2 related injury from his famous PT 109 incident? No doubt a museum grade investment !
Although we’ve had a number of Signed JFK pieces of the past 40 years, this is probably the most astonishing with extraordinarily amazing content. JFK responds to an invitation from a close friend (Original invitation letter also included) and mentions he is somewhat incapacitated due to the reoccurrence of a war injury which requires him to use crutches. This very intimate and personal letter showcases JFK injuries in WW2 when his famous boat PT 109 was rammed by a Japanese Cruiser in 1943. Though JFK had back issues as a young man, this traumatic incident only exacerbated his earlier health issues.
On JFK Senate Letterhead, "signed "Jack" in blue ink with added handwritten note "Hope to see you the 23th," . NOTE: JFK typically signed "Jack" only to close friends .
