Details:

Jacqueline Kennedy pair of original Woodward & Lothrop department store receipts dated January 8 and January 10, 1961, documenting purchases made shortly before the Kennedy inauguration. Both receipts are addressed to Mrs. John F. Kennedy, The White House, Washington, D.C., with one noting special attention to Mary Gallagher, Jacqueline Kennedy’s longtime personal secretary.

Fine condition.

The receipts record household purchases from the prominent Washington, D.C. department store, including a dozen wooden coat hangers. One receipt bears the notation “Special Att. Mary Gallagher,” providing a direct connection to the small circle of trusted staff who managed the personal affairs of the Kennedy family. The receipts were charged to Mrs. Kennedy and reflect the practical preparations and household purchases associated with the family’s transition into the White House.

These pieces offer an intimate glimpse into the everyday administrative and domestic side of the Kennedy White House, preserving routine purchases that would otherwise have been lost to history. Such documents help illuminate the behind-the-scenes details of life within one of America’s most famous presidential families.
