Details:

Jacqueline Kennedy White House memorandum with handwritten notation to her longtime personal secretary, Mary B. Gallagher. Typed on official White House stationery and dated December 10, 1963, the 6.25 x 9.25” memorandum was sent by Nancy Tuckerman and concerns correspondence received by Mrs. Kennedy in the weeks following President Kennedy’s assassination.

The memorandum reads in part:

“Mrs. Kennedy asked that I send you these five letters.”

1. Undated letter from Joe Alsop
2. Letter from Susan Mary Alsop dated November 23
3. Undated letter from Arthur Schlesinger, marked Saturday
4. Undated letter from Arthur Schlesinger, marked Friday evening
5. Undated letter from Ken Galbraith

Jacqueline Kennedy has added a handwritten notation at the bottom:

“Mary - File in your files under their names”

A poignant and historically significant White House document created less than three weeks after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The memorandum references correspondence from several prominent Kennedy confidants and intellectuals, including journalist Joseph Alsop, historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., and economist John Kenneth Galbraith, all of whom were closely associated with the Kennedy administration.

The recipient, Mary B. Gallagher, served as Jacqueline Kennedy’s trusted personal secretary and confidante throughout the Kennedy administration.

Good condition overall with light expected handling wear.
