All written by him in pencil, Kennedy places the date 12-17-1954 directly above the printed words United States Senate. This is four days prior to his release from New York City's Hospital for Special Surgery, where he had undergone a dangerous spinal fusion. Upon release, he was flown to his parents' home in Palm Beach, Florida for several months' recuperation. Kennedy then draws what appears to be thirteen interconnecting rectangles, which are common in his countless doodles. To the left, JFK sketches a triangular design with the unexplained numbers 694 beneath it. Then, to the right, he boldly frames the words Adams - abandoned Federalists in 1808 or 1807. He was referring to Senator John Quincy Adams' 1808 support of President Thomas Jefferson in opposing the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution, which resulted in Adams' dislodgement from the Federalist Party. JFK next wrote the first name Ted, being his trusted aide Ted Sorensen, and underlines Sorensen's District of Columbia telephone number JOB-7730. At the very bottom of the page, Kennedy notes Why Webster? and underlines the word Senators. Though Profiles in Courage was JFK's idea and would win him a Pulitzer Prize for biography, decades of denial regarding the full involvement of Ted Sorensen as the book's primary author was staged. What a highly desirable and historic piece this is! It is from the collection of the late Congressman Michael J. Kirwan of Ohio. There is a faint crease at the upper left corner which affects none of Kennedy's handwriting; otherwise the page is in fine condition.
