In the messages, made public yesterday, the two leaders acknowledged that their nations bore a grave responsibility to humanity and assured each other of a firm resolve to seek a durable peace in 1962." - a clipped magazine article about JFK sent to Evelyn Lincoln by Madlyn Fitzgerald, sent to her at the White House. - two color cardstock portraits of John F. Kennedy by Fabian Bachrach. - the November 27, 1963 issue of Roll Call: The Newspaper of Capitol Hill, featuring a black-bordered portrait of the fallen President John F. Kennedy and a memorial column. - six pages of carbon copy typescripts of JFK's handwritten notes, prepared by Lincoln after his assassination for use in cataloging his papers; notably, one represents his draft announcing his candidacy for the presidency, beginning: "I am announcing today my candidacy for the Presidency of the United States." In overall fine condition. All originate from the Robert L. White collection and are accompanied by certificates of authenticity from Erik L. Dorr.
