A typed letter signed by John F. Kennedy days after being elected as a U.S. Senator, Washington, D.C., n.d. but with the accompanying cover postmarked January 6, 1953. Signed "John Kennedy" with an added hand written, "many thanks to you both", addressed to John P. Sullivan of Worcester, Massachusetts. Typed on U.S. House of Representatives letterhead. 1p, measuring 8" x 10.5". With the original transmittal cover and a printed photograph portrait of Kennedy. The letter has flattened mail folds with light edge toning. Two small areas of staining at the top corners. Boldly signed. Expected wear and tearing to the envelope. Very good overall.

"Since I have just returned from Europe, I have been delayed in telling you how much I appreciate all of your efforts during the past months of the campaign. I am certain that we never would have survived the Eisenhower landslide if it had not been for the effectiveness of our organization, an organization, in my opinion, which was the best that the state had ever seen. I fully realize that this victory was won by the people such as yourself who carried out the many arduous but necessary tasks which constitute political success…"
