35th President.
Fantastic typed letter signed “Jack Kennedy”, April 15, 1959 on his United States Senate stationery. Written to supporters in Wisconsin thanking them for a successful dinner in Appleton, WI. He also thanks them for their help in strengthening the Democratic Party's position.
Kennedy signs the letter in full and adds a 17 word postscript in his hand:
You were very kind to me and I am most grateful. I hope we meet soon again.
JFK had been in Wisconsin on an early exploratory trip as he began the process to win the Democratic nomination. As part of his grassroots effort, he went to small towns like Appleton to meet and greet voters and build his base. It would work as he won the Wisconsin primary in 1960 - his first major primary test and a big boost on his way to the White House.
