Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy autographed three-page handwritten letter written on both sides of a single folded notecard sheet, sent from the Kennedy family home at 131 Naples Road, Brookline. The letter is entirely in Rose Kennedy’s hand and signed at the conclusion, offering a warm, personal expression of gratitude and family sentiment.
In the letter, Rose thanks the recipient for a Christmas gift of candy, noting how much it was enjoyed by the entire Kennedy family, particularly the younger children. She reflects fondly on family dynamics, shares personal appreciation for the thoughtfulness shown, and expresses pleasure that Joe was able to stay with the recipient in New York. The tone is intimate and domestic, providing a rare glimpse into the private life and gracious character of the Kennedy matriarch beyond her public role.
Near fine condition.
