Robert F. Kennedy autographed typed letter signed on John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library, Incorporated letterhead, dated April 11, 1968, addressed to Mr. Ted Nelson Tatman of the Lutheran Seminary in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The letter thanks Tatman for his letter and poem honoring the memory of President John F. Kennedy and expresses Kennedy’s personal appreciation for the tribute.

In the body of the letter, Kennedy writes that the respect shown for his brother’s memory “means a great deal to me,” and notes that he has forwarded the poem to the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library, where it would be preserved alongside other memorial tributes. The letter closes warmly and is signed in black ink by Robert F. Kennedy above his typed name.

Fine condition.

Robert F. Kennedy (1925–1968) served as U.S. Senator from New York and previously as U.S. Attorney General. A central figure in American public life, Kennedy was a leading voice for civil rights, social justice, and opposition to the Vietnam War. His assassination in June 1968, just two months after this letter was written, cemented his place alongside his brother as one of the most consequential and mourned political figures of the 20th century.
