TLS signed “Good luck always, Jackie,” 8.5 x 11, Doubleday letterhead, October 15, 1986. Letter to psychologist Stephen A. Appelbaum, in full: "Your new book sounds fascinating—there is such a need and yearning for it. Because of its subject, it wouldn't be in the department I am in, but rather Anchor, who published your last book. I am giving your proposal to Janet Byrne there—and you should call her and meet her when you are in New York. Sadly, I will be away then until after November 10th—but I will check out with Janet to see how everything went." Kennedy writes the salutation in her own hand. In fine condition, with a diagonal crease above the letterhead. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.In September 1975, six months from the death of her second husband, Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline Kennedy reentered the workforce for the first time since 1953. The 46-year-old former first lady had been given a consulting editor position at Viking Press earning $200 a week. However, when Viking opted to publish the Jeffrey Archer novel Shall We Tell the President?, which featured a plot about an assassination attempt on Ted Kennedy, Jackie resigned and took the job of associate editor at Doubleday, a company she would remain with for the remainder of her professional career.Format: TLS
