Until then, Jackie and I want to wish you and all your family a very happy and successful New Year. Sincerely, John Kennedy" with an unsigned note below, in Kennedy's hand reading, "Many, many thanks for your letter Binky.

JOHN F KENNEDY PRESIDENTAL PENCILJOHN F KENNEDY PRESIDENTAL PENCIL DOODLEAt the top, JFK has sketched three small sailboats with nine seagulls flying above, which he frequently doodled as congressman, senator, and president. Below, Kennedy has framed the initials TR ? 1906 Peace Prize. He then draws three arrows followed by three interconnected rectangles. Next, the president highlights the words Wilson at Versailles, and, below that, circles the year 1919. The historical significance of Kennedy?s mention of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson cannot be overstated. Roosevelt?s Nobel success in mediating peace which ended the Russo-Japanese War . . . and his notation of Wilson?s Paris Peace Conference triumph at Versailles were obviously on his mind wherever JFK happened to be flying at the moment. Was Kennedy reflecting on ways to alleviate the United States? Cold War relations with the Soviets in Cuba and Berlin?
Provenance: comes from the John Burke Jovich collection. World-renowned US Presidential Historian. JFK's personal secretary during his senatorial and White House years, Evelyn Lincoln, was a dear friend of mine. She frequently reminded Kennedy to pass on his doodles and notes, all unofficial documents, to his friend Congressman Mike Kirwan. Evelyn and her husband Abe (Harold) Lincoln, reviewed every one of JFK's doodles in my Kirwan collection during my visit at their Chevy Chase, MD home back in the early 1990s. She never questioned their authenticity, and her vivid memory of Kennedy scrawling some of the documents brought tears to her eyes. Evelyn was the expert at deciphering the late president's difficult to read handwriting
