00:00:02,033 --> 00:00:05,233
GUEST: This is a letter from 
Jackie Kennedy that was sent 
to the Men's Democratic League

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,366
of Newport, because she was in 
Newport, and had, unfortunately, 
a stillborn child at Newport

3
00:00:12,233 --> 00:00:16,733
Hospital, and the Men's 
Democratic League sent her a 
bouquet of flowers. And this is

4
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,333
the thank-you note that she sent 
to them. And my grandfather, 
at the time, was the president

5
00:00:24,266 --> 00:00:27,533
of the Men's Democratic League, 
and this was 1956. So he kept 
the letter, gave it to my

6
00:00:29,533 --> 00:00:32,033
mother, and said, "Keep this 
letter, because he's going to 
be president, and she'll be

7
00:00:32,033 --> 00:00:33,566
first lady."

8
00:00:33,566 --> 00:00:35,933
APPRAISER: Wow. And it came 
true. Wow, very prescient.

9
00:00:35,933 --> 00:00:38,000
GUEST: Yeah.

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,733
APPRAISER: You know, it's 
interesting, because there are a 
lot of ties from Newport and the

11
00:00:41,733 --> 00:00:43,733
Kennedys. They were 
married here, 1953.

12
00:00:43,733 --> 00:00:45,900
GUEST: Mm-hmm.

13
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,733
APPRAISER: Jacqueline Bouvier 
Kennedy, actually, Hammersmith 
Farm, so there's a very strong

14
00:00:48,733 --> 00:00:49,733
Newport connection.

15
00:00:49,733 --> 00:00:51,833
GUEST: Yeah.

16
00:00:51,833 --> 00:00:53,933
APPRAISER: It's just a lovely 
little note, basically, "Thank 
you for the roses." On the

17
00:00:53,933 --> 00:00:58,900
back here, it is nicely signed. 
It said, "It meant a great 
deal to me," so... Elegant note

18
00:01:00,966 --> 00:01:04,966
from a very elegant lady. 
At auction, I would expect 
this to bring around $1,500.

19
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,900
GUEST: Wow. Very good.
