Details:

Jacqueline Kennedy autographed handwritten letter on a single sheet of cream paper, addressed to White House secretary Evelyn Lincoln, referencing returned Christmas cards and White House correspondence procedures. In the brief note, Mrs. Kennedy writes: “Here are some returned Xmas cards – mail to Jack & me which I think can be best answered by the office.” The message is signed in full, “Jackie,” at the conclusion.

The note reflects routine but revealing White House operations during the Kennedy administration, illustrating Mrs. Kennedy’s direct involvement in personal and official correspondence, as well as her reliance on Evelyn Lincoln for the day-to-day management of presidential mail. Lincoln served as President John F. Kennedy’s longtime personal secretary and was one of the closest aides to both the President and First Lady.

The ink exhibits heavy overall fading, consistent with age and handling, though the full content remains legible upon close inspection. The paper shows gentle toning, with no losses.

Jacqueline Kennedy (1929–1994) served as First Lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963 and remains one of the most iconic cultural and political figures of the 20th century. Her correspondence is highly sought after, particularly material tied directly to White House life and administration operations.

Evelyn Lincoln (1909–1995) was President John F. Kennedy’s personal secretary for over a decade and played a central role in managing presidential correspondence, scheduling, and records, making letters addressed to her especially significant for Kennedy collectors.

A scarce and intimate piece of White House correspondence connecting the First Lady, the President, and one of the most trusted figures of the Kennedy administration.
