Details:

Evelyn Lincoln handwritten note to Senator John F. Kennedy on an official United States Senate “Memorandum” sheet, penned in bold pink pencil. The note reads:

“Maury Shea wants to know when he can see you.
Dr 7-5341
Baltimore”

A classic example of Lincoln’s quick, front-line communication style—brief, direct, and written to be slipped immediately in front of Kennedy during his Senate years. Notes like this formed the backbone of daily operations in Kennedy’s office, capturing real-time scheduling and constituent inquiries before his rise to the presidency.

Fine condition.

Provenance: From the personal files of Evelyn Lincoln, Kennedy’s longtime secretary; later part of the Robert L. White Museum Collection—one of the most respected and comprehensive JFK archives ever assembled.

Evelyn Lincoln (1909–1995) served as John F. Kennedy’s personal and confidential secretary from his first day in the Senate in 1953 through his assassination in 1963. Known for her extraordinary loyalty, organizational precision, and near-constant proximity to JFK, she managed his correspondence, schedules, dictation, and personal papers. Lincoln was present in Dallas on November 22, 1963, and later became a key custodian of Kennedy’s legacy, preserving a vast archive of his documents, notes, and memorabilia—many of which became the foundation of the Robert L. White Collection.
