Details:

Collection of five original White House era receipts and service documents associated with Jacqueline Kennedy and her personal secretary Mary Gallagher, dating primarily to 1960–1962 during the Kennedy administration. The group includes a fascinating assortment of luxury retail, salon, and shipping records connected to the Kennedy White House inner circle, several bearing handwritten file notations and initials attributed to Mary Gallagher (“M.B.G.”).

Included within the archive are two Mark Cross Fifth Avenue receipts addressed to Mrs. Gallagher at 10 Belfield Road, Belle Haven, Alexandria, Virginia, reflecting purchases from the famed luxury leather goods retailer closely associated with Jacqueline Kennedy’s fashion era. Also included is an Air Express receipt consigning a shipment to New York, a salon receipt from “Per of Georgetown” made out to “Kennedy,” and another salon service receipt addressed to “Mrs. Kennedy, White House.” The salon receipts reference beauty and grooming services during the early Kennedy administration period.

Several pieces bear period filing annotations, inventory numbers, and handwritten initials “M.B.G.” believed to reference Mary Gallagher, Jacqueline Kennedy’s longtime personal secretary and one of the most trusted figures within the Kennedy White House social and administrative circle. The documents provide an intimate glimpse into the everyday logistical and personal routines surrounding Jacqueline Kennedy during the Camelot era.

Fine condition overall, with expected age toning, staple holes, edge wear, handling wear, and scattered filing annotations from use and storage.

Mary Gallagher served as Jacqueline Kennedy’s personal secretary both before and during the White House years and remained one of the First Lady’s closest aides and confidantes. Gallagher handled scheduling, correspondence, travel coordination, shopping arrangements, and countless personal matters for Mrs. Kennedy, making surviving working documents associated with her office particularly scarce and historically revealing.
