Details:

Priscilla Wear autographed typed letter on official White House letterhead dated August 14, 1961, addressed to Arnold Camin of Flushing, New York. The letter confirms that President John F. Kennedy had personally signed an enclosed White House card for Camin’s collection and conveys the President’s best wishes. Wear has signed the letter in dark ink beneath her typed name and title, “Office of the President.”

This letter represents a classic example of early Kennedy-era White House correspondence, documenting the formal autograph-request process during JFK’s presidency. As an administrative aide in the White House Office, Priscilla Wear handled official responses on behalf of President Kennedy, making signed correspondence such as this an authentic and historically grounded companion to Kennedy autographs themselves. The letter remains fully legible, with strong contrast and clean margins, and includes the original recipient address block and enclosure notation.

Fine condition.

Priscilla Wear served in the Office of the President during John F. Kennedy’s administration and is known to collectors for her role in managing official correspondence related to presidential autograph requests.
