Details:

Nancy Tuckerman autographed typed letter on official “Mrs. John F. Kennedy” stationery, dated June 26, 1964, responding on behalf of Jacqueline Kennedy to a private collector regarding the proposed sale of an 1848 Abraham Lincoln document. The letter is boldly signed by Tuckerman and is accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed to the recipient, postmarked Washington, D.C.

Fine condition.

The letter reflects post-assassination White House correspondence during Jacqueline Kennedy’s transitional period following the death of President John F. Kennedy. Writing less than a year after November 22, 1963, Tuckerman politely declines the purchase on Mrs. Kennedy’s behalf while noting that the inquiry was forwarded to the Attorney General due to his interest in historical materials—an insight into the internal handling of significant Americana during the early Johnson administration.

Nancy Tuckerman served as Jacqueline Kennedy’s close confidante and personal secretary both during and after the Kennedy presidency, later becoming the executor of Mrs. Kennedy’s estate. Her signed correspondence is highly sought after, particularly when paired with original envelopes and tied directly to historically significant figures such as Abraham Lincoln and the immediate post-Camelot era.
