GUEST: This is a letter from
Jackie Kennedy that was sent
to the Men's Democratic League

of Newport, because she was in
Newport, and had, unfortunately,
a stillborn child at Newport

Hospital, and the Men's
Democratic League sent her a
bouquet of flowers. And this is

the thank-you note that she sent
to them. And my grandfather,
at the time, was the president

of the Men's Democratic League,
and this was 1956. So he kept
the letter, gave it to my

mother, and said, "Keep this
letter, because he's going to
be president, and she'll be

first lady."

APPRAISER: Wow. And it came
true. Wow, very prescient.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: You know, it's
interesting, because there are a
lot of ties from Newport and the

Kennedys. They were
married here, 1953.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: Jacqueline Bouvier
Kennedy, actually, Hammersmith
Farm, so there's a very strong

Newport connection.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: It's just a lovely
little note, basically, "Thank
you for the roses." On the

back here, it is nicely signed.
It said, "It meant a great
deal to me," so... Elegant note

from a very elegant lady.
At auction, I would expect
this to bring around $1,500.

GUEST: Wow. Very good.
